Implement a little hack for parity with GCC on crafty. This speeds up
186.crafty by about 16% (from 15.109s to 13.045s) on my system.
This turns allocas with unions/casts into scalars. For example crafty has
something like this:
union doub {
unsigned short i[4];
long long d;
};
int f(long long a) {
return ((union doub){.d=a}).i[1];
}
Instead of generating loads and stores to an alloca, we now promote the
whole thing to a scalar long value.
This implements: Transforms/ScalarRepl/AggregatePromote.ll
