Invoking a function which returns an aggregate can sometimes be
transformed to return a scalar value. However, this means that we need
to create an insertvalue instruction(s) to recreate the correct
aggregate type. We achieved this by inserting an insertvalue
instruction at the invoke's normal successor. However, this is not
feasible if the normal successor uses the invoke's return value inside a
PHI node.
Instead, split the edge between the invoke and the unwind successor and
create the insertvalue instruction in the new basic block. The new
basic block's successor will be the old invoke successor which leaves
us with IR which is well behaved.
This fixes PR24906.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

I mistakenly thought the liveness of each "RetVal(F, i)" depended only on F. It
actually depends on the index too, which means we need to be careful about how
the results are combined before return. In particular if a single Use returns
Live, that counts for the entire object, at the granularity we're considering.
llvm-svn: 228885
Unless we meet an insertvalue on a path from some value to a return, that value
will be live if *any* of the return's components are live, so all of those
components must be added to the MaybeLiveUses.
Previously we were deleting arguments if sub-value 0 turned out to be dead.

Some parts of DeadArgElim were only considering the individual fields
of StructTypes separately, but others (where insertvalue &
extractvalue instructions occur) also looked into ArrayTypes.
This one is an actual bug; the mismatch can lead to an argument being
considered used by a return sub-value that isn't being tracked (and
hence is dead by default). It then gets incorrectly eliminated.
llvm-svn: 228559
Previously, a non-extractvalue use of an aggregate return value meant
the entire return was considered live (the algorithm gave up
entirely). This was correct, but conservative. It's better to actually
look at that Use, making the analysis results apply to all sub-values
under consideration.
E.g.
%val = call { i32, i32 } @whatever()
[...]
ret { i32, i32 } %val
The return is using the entire aggregate (sub-values 0 and 1). We can
still simplify @whatever if we can prove that this return is itself
unused.
Also unifies the logic slightly between aggregate and non-aggregate
cases..
