[CodeGen][ObjC] Emit invoke instead of call to call `objc_release` when necessary.

[ahatanak]

Summary

Prior to r349952, clang used to call objc_msgSend when sending a release messages, emitting an invoke instruction instead of a call instruction when it was necessary to catch an exception. That changed in r349952 because runtime function objc_release is called as a nounwind function, which broke programs that were overriding the dealloc method and throwing an exception from it. This patch restores the behavior prior to r349952.

Can't you just write EmitCallOrInvoke(fn, value)? See what we do in emitObjCValueOperation, which can handle this case.

Just call EmitCallOrInvoke.

LGTM, thanks!
