[BasicBlockUtils] Remove broken support for eh pads in SplitEdge() (#137816)

d81d9e8b8604c85709de0a22bb8dd672a28f0401 changed SplitEdge() to make use
of ehAwareSplitEdge() for critical edges where the target is an eh pad.
However, the implementation is incorrect at least for landing pads. What
is currently produced for the code in the modified unit test is
something like this:

    continue:
      invoke void @sink()
              to label %normal unwind label %new_bb

    new_bb:
      %cp = cleanuppad within %exception []
      cleanupret from %cp unwind label %exception

    exception:
      %cleanup = landingpad i8 cleanup
      br label %trivial-eh-handler

This mixes different exception handling mechanisms in a nonsensical way,
and is not well-formed IR. To actually "split" the landingpad edge (for
a rather loose definition of "split"), I think we'd have to generate
something along these lines:

      exception.split:
        %cleanup.split = landingpad i8 cleanup
        br label %exception.cont

      exception:
        %cleanup.orig = landingpad i8 cleanup
        br label %exception.cont
      
      exception.cont:
%cleanup = phi i8 [ %cleanup.split, %exception_split ], [ %cleanup.orig,
%exception ]

I didn't bother actually implementing that, seeing as how nobody noticed
the existing codegen being broken in the last four years, so clearly
nobody actually needs this function to work with EH edges. Just return
nullptr instead.

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.
