[GlobalsAA] Partially back out r248576

See PR25822 for a more full summary, but we were conflating the concepts of "capture" and "escape". We were proving nocapture and using that proof to infer noescape, which is not true. Escaped-ness is a function-local property - as soon as a value is used in a call argument it escapes. Capturedness is a related but distinct property. It implies a *temporally limited* escape. Consider:

  static int a;
  int b;
  int g(int * nocapture arg);
  int f() {
    a = 2;  // Even though a escapes to g, it is not captured so can be treated as non-escaping here.
    g(&a);  // But here it must be treated as escaping.
    g(&b);  // Now that g(&a) has returned we know it was not captured so we can treat it as non-escaping again.
  }

The original commit did not sufficiently understand this nuance and so caused PR25822 and PR26046.

r248576 included both a performance improvement (which has been backed out) and a related conformance fix (which has been kept along with its testcase).
