[SROA] For non-speculatable `load`s of `select`s -- split block, insert then/else blocks, form two-entry PHI node

Currently, SROA is CFG-preserving.
Not doing so does not affect any pipeline test. (???)
Internally, SROA requires Dominator Tree, and uses it solely for the final `-mem2reg` call.

By design, we can't really SROA alloca if their address escapes somehow,
but we have logic to deal with `load` of `select`/`PHI`,
where at least one of the possible addresses prevents promotion,
by speculating the `load`s and `select`ing between loaded values.

As one would expect, that requires ensuring that the speculation is actually legal.
Even ignoring complexity bailouts, that logic does not deal with everything,
e.g. `isSafeToLoadUnconditionally()` does not recurse into hands of `select`.
There can also be cases where the load is genuinely non-speculate.

So if we can't prove that the load can be speculated,
unfold the select, produce two-entry phi node, and perform predicated load.

Now, that transformation must obviously update Dominator Tree,
since we require it later on. Doing so is trivial.
Additionally, we don't want to do this for the final SROA invocation (D136806).

In the end, this ends up having negative (!) compile-time cost:
https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com/compare.php?from=c6d7e80ec4c17a415673b1cfd25924f98ac83608&to=ddf9600365093ea50d7e278696cbfa01641c959d&stat=instructions:u

Though indeed, this only deals with `select`s, `PHI`s are still using speculation.

Should we update some more analysis?
