Implement PRE of loads in the GVN pass with a pretty cheap and

straight-forward implementation.  This does not require any extra
alias analysis queries beyond what we already do for non-local loads.

Some programs really really like load PRE.  For example, SPASS triggers
this ~1000 times, ~300 times in 255.vortex, and ~1500 times on 403.gcc.

The biggest limitation to the implementation is that it does not split
critical edges.  This is a huge killer on many programs and should be
addressed after the initial patch is enabled by default.

The implementation of this should incidentally speed up rejection of 
non-local loads because it avoids creating the repl densemap in cases 
when it won't be used for fully redundant loads.

This is currently disabled by default.
Before I turn this on, I need to fix a couple of miscompilations in
the testsuite, look at compile time performance numbers, and look at
perf impact.  This is pretty close to ready though.
