Add @llvm.assume, lowering, and some basic properties
This is the first commit in a series that add an @llvm.assume intrinsic which can be used to provide the optimizer with a condition it may assume to be true (when the control flow would hit the intrinsic call). Some basic properties are added here: - llvm.invariant(true) is dead. - llvm.invariant(false) is unreachable (this directly corresponds to the documented behavior of MSVC's __assume(0)), so is llvm.invariant(undef). The intrinsic is tagged as writing arbitrarily, in order to maintain control dependencies. BasicAA has been updated, however, to return NoModRef for any particular location-based query so that we don't unnecessarily block code motion. llvm-svn: 213973
