[LoopUnroll] Simplify latch/header block handling (NFC).

[fhahn]

Summary

I think the current code dealing with connecting the unrolled iterations
is a bit more complicated than necessary currently. To connect the
unrolled iterations, we have to update the unrolled latch blocks to
branch to the header of the next unrolled iteration.

We need to do this regardless whether the latch is exiting or not.

Additionally, we try to turn the conditional branch in the exiting block
to an unconditional one. This is an optimization only; alternatively we
could leave the conditional branches in place and rely on other passes
to simplify the conditions.

Logically, this is a separate step from connecting the latches to the
headers, but it is convenient to fold them into the same loop, if the
latch is also exiting. For headers (or other non-latch exiting blocks,
this is done separately).

Hopefully the patch with additional comments makes things a bit clearer.

Makes sense.

While you're here, can you change this so the "LoopExit" and "ContinueOnTrue" are passed in as arguments? I think changing the meaning based on LatchIsExiting is confusing.

[fhahn]

Move ContinueOnTrue, LoopExit captures to explicit argument list. Also turned LoopExit into a bool (IsDestLoopExit), which makes it clear that this is always false in the Header case.

Done thanks. I've turned LoopExit into a bool (IsDestLoopExit). That should make the fact it is always false for the header case more explicit.
