[IR] Begin removal of TerminatorInst by removing successor manipulation.

The core get and set routines move to the `Instruction` class. These
routines are only valid to call on instructions which are terminators.

The iterator and *generic* range based access move to `CFG.h` where all
the other generic successor and predecessor access lives. While moving
the iterator here, simplify it using the iterator utilities LLVM
provides and updates coding style as much as reasonable. The APIs remain
pointer-heavy when they could better use references, and retain the odd
behavior of `operator*` and `operator->` that is common in LLVM
iterators. Adjusting this API, if desired, should be a follow-up step.

Non-generic range iteration is added for the two instructions where
there is an especially easy mechanism and where there was code
attempting to use the range accessor from a specific subclass:
`indirectbr` and `br`. In both cases, the successors are contiguous
operands and can be easily iterated via the operand list.

This is the first major patch in removing the `TerminatorInst` type from
the IR's instruction type hierarchy. This change was discussed in an RFC
here and was pretty clearly positive:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-May/123407.html

There will be a series of much more mechanical changes following this
one to complete this move.
