[LICM/MSSA] Add promotion to scalars by building an AliasSetTracker with MemorySSA.
Summary: Experimentally we found that promotion to scalars carries less benefits than sinking and hoisting in LICM. When using MemorySSA, we build an AliasSetTracker on demand in order to reuse the current infrastructure. We only build it if less than AccessCapForMSSAPromotion exist in the loop, a cap that is by default set to 250. This value ensures there are no runtime regressions, and there are small compile time gains for pathological cases. A much lower value (20) was found to yield a single regression in the llvm-test-suite and much higher benefits for compile times. Conservatively we set the current cap to a high value, but we will explore lowering it when MemorySSA is enabled by default.
