[PM] Move the LoopPassManager to the transforms library.

Details

Summary

While the loop PM uses an analysis to form the IR units, the current
plan is to have the PM itself establish and enforce both loop simplified
form and LCSSA. This would be a layering violation in the analysis
library.

Fundamentally, the idea behind the loop PM is to *transform* loops in
addition to running passes over them, so it really seemed like the most
natural place to sink this was into the transforms library.

While surprising at first that makes the most sense after thinking a bit about it.

Any reason to prefer Transforms/Scalar over Transforms/Utils? I'd have expected the latter.

Also: don't forget to sort the #include s before checkin.

I believe it'll needs to call into LCSAA/LoopSimplify, are these in Utils?

Because Utils is mostly non-passes. I'd like eventually to make that a reality.

And I'd like the loop PM to be able to use the *pass* formulations of LCSSA and LoopSimplify so that it can work (and be debugged) very much as a less customizable pass pipeline. Does that make sense?

sgtm!

Really substantial change -- now we *split* the loop PM into the analysis
management and transformation aware components. This is necessary to avoid
breaking the layering of the analysis library.

Looks fine to me.

Suggest

The adaptor from a function pass to a loop pass computes these analyses and makes them available to the loop passes "for free". Each loop pass is expected expected to update these analyses if necessary to ensure they're valid after it runs.

I've been doing this everywhere. Lemme send you a separate patch that tries a different and less confusing (i hope) pattern.
