      Introduce an AnalysisManager which is like a pass manager but with a lot · 74015a70

      more smarts in it. This is where most of the interesting logic that used
      to live in the implicit-scheduling-hackery of the old pass manager will
      live.
      
      Like the previous commits, note that this is a very early prototype!
      I expect substantial changes before this is ready to use.
      
      The core of the design is the following:
      
      - We have an AnalysisManager which can be used across a series of
        passes over a module.
      - The code setting up a pass pipeline registers the analyses available
        with the manager.
      - Individual transform passes can check than an analysis manager
        provides the analyses they require in order to fail-fast.
      - There is *no* implicit registration or scheduling.
      - Analysis passes are different from other passes: they produce an
        analysis result that is cached and made available via the analysis
        manager.
      - Cached results are invalidated automatically by the pass managers.
      - When a transform pass requests an analysis result, either the analysis
        is run to produce the result or a cached result is provided.
      
      There are a few aspects of this design that I *know* will change in
      subsequent commits:
      - Currently there is no "preservation" system, that needs to be added.
      - All of the analysis management should move up to the analysis library.
      - The analysis management needs to support at least SCC passes. Maybe
        loop passes. Living in the analysis library will facilitate this.
      - Need support for analyses which are *both* module and function passes.
      - Need support for pro-actively running module analyses to have cached
        results within a function pass manager.
      - Need a clear design for "immutable" passes.
      - Need support for requesting cached results when available and not
        re-running the pass even if that would be necessary.
      - Need more thorough testing of all of this infrastructure.
      
      There are other aspects that I view as open questions I'm hoping to
      resolve as I iterate a bit on the infrastructure, and especially as
      I start writing actual passes against this.
      - Should we have separate management layers for function, module, and
        SCC analyses? I think "yes", but I'm not yet ready to switch the code.
        Adding SCC support will likely resolve this definitively.
      - How should the 'require' functionality work? Should *that* be the only
        way to request results to ensure that passes always require things?
      - How should preservation work?
      - Probably some other things I'm forgetting. =]
      
      Look forward to more patches in shorter order now that this is in place.

      Removing llvm::huge_vald and llvm::huge_vall because they are not currently used, and HUGE_VALD does not appear to be supported everywhere anyways.
