[Clang]: Support opt-in speculative devirtualization (#159685)

This patch adds Clang support for speculative devirtualization and
integrates the related pass into the pass pipeline.
It's building on the LLVM backend implementation from PR #159048.
Speculative devirtualization transforms an indirect call (the virtual
function) to a guarded direct call.
It is guarded by a comparison of the virtual function pointer to the
expected target.
This optimization is still safe without LTO because it doesn't do direct
calls, it's conditional according to the function ptr.
This optimization:
- Opt-in: Disabled by default, enabled via `-fdevirtualize-speculatively`
- Works in non-LTO mode
- Handles publicly-visible objects.
- Uses guarded devirtualization with fallback to indirect calls when the
speculation is incorrect.

For this C++ example:
```
class Base {
public:
    __attribute__((noinline))
    virtual void virtual_function1() { asm volatile("NOP"); }
    virtual void virtual_function2() { asm volatile("NOP"); }
};
class Derived : public Base {
public:
    void virtual_function2() override { asm volatile("NOP"); }
};
__attribute__((noinline))
void foo(Base *BV) {
    BV->virtual_function1();
}
void bar() {
    Base *b = new Derived();
    foo(b);
}
```
Here is the IR without enabling speculative devirtualization:
```
define dso_local void @_Z3fooP4Base(ptr noundef %BV) local_unnamed_addr #0 {
entry:
  %vtable = load ptr, ptr %BV, align 8, !tbaa !6
  %0 = load ptr, ptr %vtable, align 8
  tail call void %0(ptr noundef nonnull align 8 dereferenceable(8) %BV)
  ret void
}
```
IR after enabling speculative devirtualization:
```
define dso_local void @_Z3fooP4Base(ptr noundef %BV) local_unnamed_addr #0 {
entry:
  %vtable = load ptr, ptr %BV, align 8, !tbaa !12
  %0 = load ptr, ptr %vtable, align 8
  %1 = icmp eq ptr %0, @_ZN4Base17virtual_function1Ev
  br i1 %1, label %if.true.direct_targ, label %if.false.orig_indirect, !prof !15

if.true.direct_targ:                              ; preds = %entry
  tail call void @_ZN4Base17virtual_function1Ev(ptr noundef nonnull align 8 dereferenceable(8) %BV)
  br label %if.end.icp

if.false.orig_indirect:                           ; preds = %entry
  tail call void %0(ptr noundef nonnull align 8 dereferenceable(8) %BV)
  br label %if.end.icp

if.end.icp:                                       ; preds = %if.false.orig_indirect, %if.true.direct_targ
  ret void
}
```

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
