Add the `dead_on_unwind` attribute, which states that the caller will
not read from this argument if the call unwinds. This allows eliding
stores that could otherwise be visible on the unwind path, for example:
```
declare void @may_unwind()
define void @src(ptr noalias dead_on_unwind %out) {
store i32 0, ptr %out
call void @may_unwind()
store i32 1, ptr %out
ret void
}
define void @tgt(ptr noalias dead_on_unwind %out) {
call void @may_unwind()
store i32 1, ptr %out
ret void
}
```
The optimization is not valid without `dead_on_unwind`, because the `i32
0` value might be read if `@may_unwind` unwinds.
This attribute is primarily intended to be used on sret arguments. In
fact, I previously wanted to change the semantics of sret to include
this "no read after unwind" property (see D116998), but based on the
feedback there it is better to keep these attributes orthogonal (sret is
an ABI attribute, dead_on_unwind is an optimization attribute). This is
a reboot of that change with a separate attribute.
The MemorySSA-based implementation has been enabled for a few months
(since D94376). This patch drops the old MDA-based implementation
entirely.
I've kept this to only the basic cleanup of dropping various
conditions -- the code could be further cleaned up now that there
is only one implementation.

This adds an -enable-memcpyopt-memoryssa option that currently does
nothing apart from requiring MSSA as a dependency. The tests are
split to run both with the option disabled and enabled. I went with
this rather than the separate directory DSE uses, as I found it
convenient to have a direct side-by-side comparison of differences.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

An exception could prevent a store from occurring but MemCpyOpt's
callslot optimization would fire anyway, causing the store to occur.
This fixes PR27849.
