d2fc6eb3b5 AliasAnalysis: make AliasAnalysis a function analysis and simplify the cache keys
Instead of caching alias results globally for the module, make AliasAnalysis a FunctionAnalysisBase which caches the alias results per function.
Why?
* So far the result caches could only grow. They were reset when they reached a certain size. This was not ideal. Now, they are invalidated whenever the function changes.
* It was not possible to actually invalidate an alias analysis result. This is required, for example in TempRValueOpt and TempLValueOpt (so far it was done manually with invalidateInstruction).
* Type based alias analysis results were also cached for the whole module, while it is actually dependent on the function, because it depends on the function's resilience expansion. This was a potential bug.

I also added a new PassManager API to directly get a function-base analysis:
    getAnalysis(SILFunction *f)

The second change of this commit is the removal of the instruction-index indirection for the cache keys. Now the cache keys directly work on instruction pointers instead of instruction indices. This reduces the number of hash table lookups for a cache lookup from 3 to 1.
This indirection was needed to avoid dangling instruction pointers in the cache keys. But this is not needed anymore, because of the new delayed instruction deletion mechanism.

9722578df6 SILOptimizer: a new optimization for copy-on-write
Constant folds the uniqueness result of begin_cow_mutation instructions, if it can be proved that the buffer argument is uniquely referenced.
For example:

     %buffer = end_cow_mutation %mutable_buffer
     // ...
     // %buffer does not escape here
     // ...
     (%is_unique, %mutable_buffer2) = begin_cow_mutation %buffer
     cond_br %is_unique, ...

is replaced with

     %buffer = end_cow_mutation [keep_unique] %mutable_buffer
     // ...
     (%not_used, %mutable_buffer2) = begin_cow_mutation %buffer
     %true = integer_literal 1
     cond_br %true, ...

Note that the keep_unique flag is set on the end_cow_mutation because the code now relies on that the buffer is really uniquely referenced.

The optimization can also handle def-use chains between end_cow_mutation and begin_cow_mutation which involve phi-arguments.

An additional peephole optimization is performed: if the begin_cow_mutation is the only use of the end_cow_mutation, the whole pair of instructions is eliminated.
