Uniformity analysis is a generalization of divergence analysis to
include irreducible control flow:
1. The proposed spec presents a notion of "maximal convergence" that
captures the existing convention of converging threads at the
headers of natual loops.
2. Maximal convergence is then extended to irreducible cycles. The
identity of irreducible cycles is determined by the choices made
in a depth-first traversal of the control flow graph. Uniformity
analysis uses criteria that depend only on closed paths and not
cycles, to determine maximal convergence. This makes it a
conservative analysis that is independent of the effect of DFS on
CycleInfo.
3. The analysis is implemented as a template that can be
instantiated for both LLVM IR and Machine IR.
Validation:
- passes existing tests for divergence analysis
- passes new tests with irreducible control flow
- passes equivalent tests in MIR and GMIR

Based on the output of include-what-you-use.
This is a big chunk of changes. It is very likely to break downstream code
unless they took a lot of care in avoiding hidden ehader dependencies, something
the LLVM codebase doesn't do that well :-/
I've tried to summarize the biggest change below:
- llvm/include/llvm-c/Core.h: no longer includes llvm-c/ErrorHandling.h
- llvm/IR/DIBuilder.h no longer includes llvm/IR/DebugInfo.h
- llvm/IR/IRBuilder.h no longer includes llvm/IR/IntrinsicInst.h
- llvm/IR/LLVMRemarkStreamer.h no longer includes llvm/Support/ToolOutputFile.h
- llvm/IR/LegacyPassManager.h no longer include llvm/Pass.h
- llvm/IR/Type.h no longer includes llvm/ADT/SmallPtrSet.h
- llvm/IR/PassManager.h no longer includes llvm/Pass.h nor llvm/Support/Debug.h
And the usual count of preprocessed lines:
$ clang++ -E -Iinclude -I../llvm/include ../llvm/lib/IR/*.cpp -std=c++14 -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions | wc -l
before: 6400831
after: 6189948
200k lines less to process is no that bad ;-)

Reverts 02940d6d2202. Fixes breakage in the modules build.
LLVM loops cannot represent irreducible structures in the CFG. This
change introduce the concept of cycles as a generalization of loops,
along with a CycleInfo analysis that discovers a nested
hierarchy of such cycles. This is based on Havlak (1997), Nesting of
Reducible and Irreducible Loops.
The cycle analysis is implemented as a generic template and then
instatiated for LLVM IR and Machine IR. The template relies on a new
GenericSSAContext template which must be specialized when used for
each IR.
