[LICM] Make isGuaranteedToExecute more accurate.
Summary: Make isGuaranteedToExecute use the isGuaranteedToTransferExecutionToSuccessor helper, and make that helper a bit more accurate. There's a potential performance impact here from assuming that arbitrary calls might not return. This probably has little impact on loads and stores to a pointer because most things alias analysis can reason about are dereferenceable anyway. The other impacts, like less aggressive hoisting of sdiv by a variable and less aggressive hoisting around volatile memory operations, are unlikely to matter for real code. This also impacts SCEV, which uses the same helper. It's a minor improvement there because we can tell that, for example, memcpy always returns normally. Strictly speaking, it's also introducing a bug, but it's not any worse than everywhere else we assume readonly functions terminate. Fixes http://llvm.org/PR27857.
