[DSE] Use walker to skip noalias stores between current & clobber def.

Summary

Instead of getting the defining access we should be able to use
getClobberingMemoryAccess to skip non-aliasing MemoryDefs. No additional
checks should be needed, because we only remove the starting def if it
matches the defining access of the load. All we need to worry about is
that there are no (may)alias stores between the starting def and the
load and getClobberingMemoryAccess should guarantee that.

Partly fixes PR47887.

This improves the number of redundant stores removed in some cases
(numbers below for MultiSource, SPEC2000, SPEC2006 on X86 with -flto
-O3).

Same hash: 226 (filtered out)
Remaining: 11
Metric: dse.NumRedundantStores
