[IR] Don't treat callbr as indirect terminator

Details

Summary

Callbr is no longer an indirect terminator in the sense that is relevant here (that it's successors cannot be updated). The primary effect of this change is that callbr no longer prevents formation of loop simplify form.

I decided to drop the isIndirectTerminator() method entirely and replace it with isa<IndirectBrInst>() checks. I assume this method was added to abstract over indirectbr and callbr, but it never really caught on, and there is nothing left to abstract anymore at this point.

@nathanchance is also doing some testing, please wait for his green light before landing.

My Linux kernel build and QEMU boot tests (minus i386, due to an unrelated regression in mainline) showed no regressions with this change.
