Move all of the header files which are involved in modelling the LLVM IR
into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.

Hoist the GEP constant address offset computation to a common home on
the GEP instruction class.
This is part of the continued refactoring and cleaning of the
infrastructure used by SROA. This particular operation is also done in
a few other places which I'll try to refactor to share this
implementation.

Add a new visitor for walking the uses of a pointer value.
This visitor provides infrastructure for recursively traversing the
use-graph of a pointer-producing instruction like an alloca or a malloc.
It maintains a worklist of uses to visit, so it can handle very deep
recursions. It automatically looks through instructions which simply
translate one pointer to another (bitcasts and GEPs). It tracks the
offset relative to the original pointer as long as that offset remains
constant and exposes it during the visit as an APInt offset. Finally, it
performs conservative escape analysis.
However, currently it has some limitations that should be addressed
going forward:
1) It doesn't handle vectors of pointers.
2) It doesn't provide a cheaper visitor when the constant offset
tracking isn't needed.
3) It doesn't support non-instruction pointer values.
The current functionality is exactly what is required to implement the
SROA pointer-use visitors in terms of this one, rather than in terms of
their own ad-hoc base visitor, which was always very poorly specified.
SROA has been converted to use this, and the code there deleted which
this utility now provides.
Technically speaking, using this new visitor allows SROA to handle a few
more cases than it previously did. It is now more aggressive in ignoring
chains of instructions which look like they would defeat SROA, but in
fact do not because they never result in a read or write of memory.
While this is "neat", it shouldn't be interesting for real programs as
any such chains should have been removed by others passes long before we
get to SROA. As a consequence, I've not added any tests for these
features -- it shouldn't be part of SROA's contract to perform such
heroics.
The goal is to extend the functionality of this visitor going forward,
and re-use it from passes like ASan that can benefit from doing
a detailed walk of the uses of a pointer.
Thanks to Ben Kramer for the code review rounds and lots of help
reviewing and debugging this patch.
