[UnrollAndJam] Add a new Unroll and Jam pass

This is a simple implementation of the unroll-and-jam classical loop
optimisation.

The basic idea is that we take an outer loop of the form:

for i..
  ForeBlocks(i)
  for j..
    SubLoopBlocks(i, j)
  AftBlocks(i)

Instead of doing normal inner or outer unrolling, we unroll as follows:

for i... i+=2
  ForeBlocks(i)
  ForeBlocks(i+1)
  for j..
    SubLoopBlocks(i, j)
    SubLoopBlocks(i+1, j)
  AftBlocks(i)
  AftBlocks(i+1)
Remainder

So we have unrolled the outer loop, then jammed the two inner loops into
one. This can lead to a simpler inner loop if memory accesses can be shared
between the now-jammed loops.

To do this we have to prove that this is all safe, both for the memory
accesses (using dependence analysis) and that ForeBlocks(i+1) can move before
AftBlocks(i) and SubLoopBlocks(i, j).
