Move Value.isDereferenceablePointer to ValueTracking [NFC]

Move isDereferenceablePointer function to Analysis. This function recursively tracks dereferencability over a chain of values like other functions in ValueTracking.

This refactoring is motivated by further changes to support dereferenceable_or_null attribute (http://reviews.llvm.org/D8650). isDereferenceablePointer will be extended to perform context-sensitive analysis and IR is not a good place to have such functionality.
