I believe that these were in SILInstruction for historic reasons. This is a
separate API on top of SILInstruction so it makes sense to pull it out into its
own header.
This name makes it clear that the function has not yet been deleted and also
contrasts with the past tense used in the API notifyAddedOrModifiedFunction to
show that said function has already added/modified the function.
The name notifyAddFunction is actively harmful since the pass manager uses this
entrypoint to notify analyses of added *OR* modified functions. It is up to the
caller analysis to distinguish in between these cases.
I am not vouching for the design, just trying to make names match the
current behavior.
Generally in the SIL/SILOptimizer libraries we have been putting kinds in the
swift namespace, not a nested scope in a type in swift (see ValueKind as an
example of this).
There are now separate functions for function addition and deletion instead of InvalidationKind::Function.
Also, there is a new function for witness/vtable invalidations.

For example, strong_release may call a destructor. This information will be used e.g. by the escape analysis.
As destructors are potential calles now, FunctionOrder analysis will make sure that they will be scheduled for optimizations before their callers.
Each time we delete the pass manager, we delete the analyses it
holds. In this analysis we were holding onto memory that wasn't getting
released when the analysis was deleted.

Shaves about 19% of the time from the construction of these sets. The
SmallVector size was chosen to minimize the number of dynamic
allocations we end up doing while building the stdlib. This should be a
reasonable size for most projects, too. It's a bit wasteful in space,
but the total amount of allocated space here is pretty small to begin
with.

It has been generally agreed that we need to do this reorg, and now
seems like the perfect time. Some major pass reorganization is in the
works.
This does not have to be the final word on the matter. The consensus
among those working on the code is that it's much better than what we
had and a better starting point for future bike shedding.
Note that the previous organization was designed to allow separate
analysis and optimization libraries. It turns out this is an
artificial distinction and not an important goal.
