    Codegen: Tail-duplicate during placement. · adabac2d
    Kyle Butt authored
    The tail duplication pass uses an assumed layout when making duplication
    decisions. This is fine, but passes up duplication opportunities that
    may arise when blocks are outlined. Because we want the updated CFG to
    affect subsequent placement decisions, this change must occur during
    placement.
    
    In order to achieve this goal, TailDuplicationPass is split into a
    utility class, TailDuplicator, and the pass itself. The pass delegates
    nearly everything to the TailDuplicator object, except for looping over
    the blocks in a function. This allows the same code to be used for tail
    duplication in both places.
    
    This change, in concert with outlining optional branches, allows
    triangle shaped code to perform much better, esepecially when the
    taken/untaken branches are correlated, as it creates a second spine when
    the tests are small enough.
    
    Issue from previous rollback fixed, and a new test was added for that
    case as well.
