Andrew Trick 170c563b00 [NFC] cleanup Instruction/Value.findVarDecl() APIs.
These APIs are quite convoluted. The checks for var_decl need to be performed in
just the right order. The is a consequence of complexity in the SIL
representation itself, not a problem with the APIs.

It is common for code to accidentally call a less-complete form of the API. It
is essential that they be defined in a central location, and the we get the same
answer whether we start with an Instruction, Argument, or Value. The primary
public interface should always check for debug_value users. The varDecl property
is actually an implementation detail.

It is questionable whether a function like findVarDecl() that returns a basic
property of SIL and does not require arguments should be a property instead. It
is a function to hint that it may scan the use-list, which is not something
we normally want SIL properties to do. Use-lists can grow linearly in function
size. But, again, this is a natural result of the SIL representation and needs
to be considered an implementation detail.
