Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 3189616c35 blockfreq: Approximate irreducible control flow
Previously, irreducible backedges were ignored.  With this commit,
irreducible SCCs are discovered on the fly, and modelled as loops with
multiple headers.

This approximation specifies the headers of irreducible sub-SCCs as its
entry blocks and all nodes that are targets of a backedge within it
(excluding backedges within true sub-loops).  Block frequency
calculations act as if we insert a new block that intercepts all the
edges to the headers.  All backedges and entries to the irreducible SCC
point to this imaginary block.  This imaginary block has an edge (with
even probability) to each header block.

The result is now reasonable enough that I've added a number of
testcases for irreducible control flow.  I've outlined in
`BlockFrequencyInfoImpl.h` ways to improve the approximation.
