Chandler Carruth c179a41142 [PM/AA] Split the location computation out of getArgLocation so the
virtual interface on AliasAnalysis only deals with ModRef information.

This interface was both computing memory locations by using TLI and
other tricks to estimate the size of memory referenced by an operand,
and computing ModRef information through similar investigations. This
change narrows the scope of the virtual interface on AliasAnalysis
slightly.

Note that all of this code could live in BasicAA, and be done with
a single investigation of the argument, if it weren't for the fact that
the generic code in AliasAnalysis::getModRefBehavior for a callsite
calls into the virtual aspect of (now) getArgModRefInfo. But this
patch's arrangement seems a not terrible way to go for now.

The other interesting wrinkle is how we could reasonably extend LLVM
with support for custom memory location sizes and mod/ref behavior for
library routines. After discussions with Hal on the review, the
conclusion is that this would be best done by fleshing out the much
desired support for extensions to TLI, and support these types of
queries in that interface where we would likely be doing other library
API recognition and analysis.
