Chandler Carruth 84780666b4 [PM] Extend the explicit 'invalidate' method API on analysis results to
accept an Invalidator that allows them to invalidate themselves if their
dependencies are in turn invalidated.

Rather than recording the dependency graph ahead of time when analysis
get results from other analyses, this simply lets each result trigger
the immediate invalidation of any analyses they actually depend on. They
do this in a way that has three nice properties:

1) They don't have to handle transitive dependencies because the
   infrastructure will recurse for them.
2) The invalidate methods are still called only once. We just
   dynamically discover the necessary topological ordering, everything
   is memoized nicely.
3) The infrastructure still provides a default implementation and can
   access it so that only analyses which have dependencies need to do
   anything custom.

To make this work at all, the invalidation logic also has to defer the
deletion of the result objects themselves so that they can remain alive
until we have collected the complete set of results to invalidate.

A unittest is added here that has exactly the dependency pattern we are
concerned with. It hit the use-after-free described by Sean in much
detail in the long thread about analysis invalidation before this
change, and even in an intermediate form of this change where we failed
to defer the deletion of the result objects.

There is an important problem with doing dependency invalidation that
*isn't* solved here: we don't *enforce* that results correctly
invalidate all the analyses whose results they depend on.

I actually looked at what it would take to do that, and it isn't as hard
as I had thought but the complexity it introduces seems very likely to
outweigh the benefit. The technique would be to provide a base class for
an analysis result that would be populated with other results, and
automatically provide the invalidate method which immediately does the
correct thing. This approach has some nice pros IMO:
- Handles the case we care about and nothing else: only *results*
  that depend on other analyses trigger extra invalidation.
- Localized to the result rather than centralized in the analysis
  manager.
- Ties the storage of the reference to another result to the triggering
  of the invalidation of that analysis.
- Still supports extending invalidation in customized ways.

But the down sides here are:
- Very heavy-weight meta-programming is needed to provide this base
  class.
- Requires a pretty awful API for accessing the dependencies.

Ultimately, I fear it will not pull its weight. But we can re-evaluate
this at any point if we start discovering consistent problems where the
invalidation and dependencies get out of sync. It will fit as a clean
layer on top of the facilities in this patch that we can add if and when
we need it.

Note that I'm not really thrilled with the names for these APIs... The
name "Invalidator" seems ok but not great. The method name "invalidate"
also. In review some improvements were suggested, but they really need
*other* uses of these terms to be updated as well so I'm going to do
that in a follow-up commit.

I'm working on the actual fixes to various analyses that need to use
these, but I want to try to get tests for each of them so we don't
regress. And those changes are seperable and obvious so once this goes
in I should be able to roll them out throughout LLVM.

Many thanks to Sean, Justin, and others for help reviewing here.
