[ObjCARC] Do not turn a call to @objc_autoreleaseReturnValue into a call
to @objc_autorelease if its operand is a PHI and the PHI has an
equivalent value that is used by a return instruction.

For example, ARC optimizer shouldn't replace the call in the following
example, as doing so breaks the AutoreleaseRV/RetainRV optimization:

  %v1 = bitcast i32* %v0 to i8*
  br label %bb3
bb2:
  %v3 = bitcast i32* %v2 to i8*
  br label %bb3
bb3:
  %p = phi i8* [ %v1, %bb1 ], [ %v3, %bb2 ]
  %retval = phi i32* [ %v0, %bb1 ], [ %v2, %bb2 ] ; equivalent to %p
  %v4 = tail call i8* @objc_autoreleaseReturnValue(i8* %p)
  ret i32* %retval

Also, make sure ObjCARCContract replaces @objc_autoreleaseReturnValue's
operand uses with its value so that the call gets tail-called.

Low Level Virtual Machine (LLVM)

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and runtime environments.
