The "null-pointer-is-valid" attribute needs to be checked by many
pointer-related combines. To make the check more efficient, convert
it from a string into an enum attribute.
In the future, this attribute may be replaced with data layout
properties.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

Summary:
Support for this option is needed for building Linux kernel.
This is a very frequently requested feature by kernel developers.

GCC option description for -fdelete-null-pointer-checks:
This Assume that programs cannot safely dereference null pointers,
and that no code or data element resides at address zero.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks is the inverse of this implying that
null pointer dereferencing is not undefined.
This feature is implemented in LLVM IR in this CL as the function attribute
"null-pointer-is-valid"="true" in IR (Under review at D47894).
The CL updates several passes that assumed null pointer dereferencing is
undefined to not optimize when the "null-pointer-is-valid"="true"
attribute is present.

This reverts commit r273160, reapplying r273132.
RecursivelyDeleteTriviallyDeadInstructions cannot be called on a
parentless Instruction.

This reverts commit r273132.
Breaks multiple test under /llvm/test:Transforms (e.g.
llvm/test:Transforms/LoopIdiom/basic.ll.test) under asan.
llvm-svn: 273160
Removing dead instructions requires remembering which operands have
already been removed. RecursivelyDeleteTriviallyDeadInstructions has
this logic, don't partially reimplement it in LoopIdiomRecognize.
This fixes PR28196.
