[SDAG] Remove the reliance on MI's allocation strategy for
`MachineMemOperand` pointers attached to `MachineSDNodes` and instead have the `SelectionDAG` fully manage the memory for this array. Prior to this change, the memory management was deeply confusing here -- The way the MI was built relied on the `SelectionDAG` allocating memory for these arrays of pointers using the `MachineFunction`'s allocator so that the raw pointer to the array could be blindly copied into an eventual `MachineInstr`. This creates a hard coupling between how `MachineInstr`s allocate their array of `MachineMemOperand` pointers and how the `MachineSDNode` does. This change is motivated in large part by a change I am making to how `MachineFunction` allocates these pointers, but it seems like a layering improvement as well. This would run the risk of increasing allocations overall, but I've implemented an optimization that should avoid that by storing a single `MachineMemOperand` pointer directly instead of allocating anything. This is expected to be a net win because the vast majority of uses of these only need a single pointer. As a side-effect, this makes the API for updating a `MachineSDNode` and a `MachineInstr` reasonably different which seems nice to avoid unexpected coupling of these two layers. We can map between them, but we shouldn't be *surprised* at where that occurs. =] Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D50680 llvm-svn: 339740
