The ComputeEffects pass derives escape information for function arguments and adds those effects in the function.
This needs a lot of changes in check-lines in the tests, because the effects are printed in SIL

Optimizes copies from a temporary (an "l-value") to a destination.
%temp = alloc_stack $Ty
instructions_which_store_to %temp
copy_addr [take] %temp to %destination
dealloc_stack %temp
is optimized to
destroy_addr %destination
instructions_which_store_to %destination
The name TempLValueOpt refers to the TempRValueOpt pass, which performs a related transformation, just with the temporary on the "right" side.
The TempLValueOpt is similar to CopyForwarding::backwardPropagateCopy.
It's more restricted (e.g. the copy-source must be an alloc_stack).
That enables other patterns to be optimized, which backwardPropagateCopy cannot handle.
This pass also performs a small peephole optimization which simplifies copy_addr - destroy sequences.
copy_addr %source to %destination
destroy_addr %source
is replace with
copy_addr [take] %source to %destination
