This was already done for getSuccessorBlocks() to distinguish getting successor
blocks from getting the full list of SILSuccessors via getSuccessors(). This
commit just makes all of the successor/predecessor code follow that naming
convention.
Some examples:
getSingleSuccessor() => getSingleSuccessorBlock().
isSuccessor() => isSuccessorBlock().
getPreds() => getPredecessorBlocks().
Really, IMO, we should consider renaming SILSuccessor to a more verbose name so
that it is clear that it is more of an internal detail of SILBasicBlock's
implementation rather than something that one should consider as apart of one's
mental model of the IR when one really wants to be thinking about predecessor
and successor blocks. But that is not what this commit is trying to change, it
is just trying to eliminate a bit of technical debt by making the naming
conventions here consistent.
Before this commit all code relating to handling arguments in SILBasicBlock had
somewhere in the name BB. This is redundant given that the class's name is
already SILBasicBlock. This commit drops those names.
Some examples:
getBBArg() => getArgument()
BBArgList => ArgumentList
bbarg_begin() => args_begin()
This eliminates all inline creation of SILBasicBlock via placement new.
There are a few reasons to do this:
1. A SILBasicBlock is always created with a parent function. This commit
formalizes this into the SILBasicBlock API by only allowing for SILFunctions to
create SILBasicBlocks. This is implemented via the type system by making all
SILBasicBlock constructors private. Since SILFunction is a friend of
SILBasicBlock, SILFunction can still create a SILBasicBlock without issue.
2. Since all SILBasicBlocks will be created in only a few functions, it becomes
very easy to determine using instruments the amount of memory being allocated
for SILBasicBlocks by simply inverting the call tree in Allocations.
With LTO+PGO, normal inlining can occur if profitable so there shouldn't be
overhead that we care about in shipping compilers.
remove the mixed concept that was SILFileLocation.
Also add support for a third type of underlying storage that will be used
for deserialized debug lcoations from textual SIL.

Previously, if a header had multiple predecessors or if the predecessor was not
a cond_br, we would not insert a pre-header. Now we always insert pre-headers.
This is important in terms of ensuring that ARC Sequence Opts is correct when it
inserts retains before loops.

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.
