[IR] Add hasNPredecessors, hasNPredecessorsOrMore to BasicBlock
Add methods to BasicBlock which make it easier to efficiently check whether a block has N (or more) predecessors. This can be more efficient than using pred_size(), which is a linear time operation. We might consider adding similar methods for successors. I haven't done so in this patch because succ_size() is already O(1). With this patch applied, I measured a 0.065% compile-time reduction in user time for running `opt -O3` on the sqlite3 amalgamation (30 trials). The change in mergeStoreIntoSuccessor alone saves 45 million linked list iterations in a stage2 Release build of llc. See llvm.org/PR39702 for a harder but more general way of achieving similar results. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D54686 llvm-svn: 347256
