9e92389fa5 SILOptimizer: a new "TempLValueOpt" optimization pass for copy_addr
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
