This is a reboot of the original design and implementation by

This change also obsoletes an earlier attempt at restarting the work on
convergence tokens:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D104504
Changes relative to D85603:
1. Clean up the definition of a "convergent operation", a convergent
call and convergent function.
2. Clean up the relationship between dynamic instances, sets of threads and
convergence tokens.
3. Redistribute the formal rules into the definitions of the convergence
intrinsics.
4. Expand on the semantics of entering a function from outside LLVM,
and the environment-defined outcome of the entry intrinsic.
5. Replace the term "cycle" with "closed path". The static rules are defined
in terms of closed paths, and then a relation is established with cycles.
6. Specify that if a function contains a controlled convergent operation, then
all convergent operations in that function must be controlled.
7. Describe an optional procedure to infer tokens for uncontrolled convergent
operations.
8. Introduce controlled maximal convergence-before and controlled m-converged
property as an update to the original properties in UniformityAnalysis.
9. Additional constraint that a cycle heart can only occur in the header of a
reducible cycle (natural loop).

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.
