[Dominators] Add the DomTreeUpdater class

Summary:
This patch is the first in a series of patches related to the [[ http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-June/123883.html | RFC - A new dominator tree updater for LLVM ]].

This patch introduces the DomTreeUpdater class, which provides a cleaner API to perform updates on available dominator trees (none, only DomTree, only PostDomTree, both) using different update strategies (eagerly or lazily) to simplify the updating process.

—Prior to the patch—

   - Directly calling update functions of DominatorTree updates the data structure eagerly while DeferredDominance does updates lazily.
   - DeferredDominance class cannot be used when a PostDominatorTree also needs to be updated.
   - Functions receiving DT/DDT need to branch a lot which is currently necessary.
   - Functions using both DomTree and PostDomTree need to call the update function separately on both trees.
   - People need to construct an additional DeferredDominance class to use functions only receiving DDT.
