refactor the MemoryBuiltin analysis:

- provide more extensive set of functions to detect library allocation functions (e.g., malloc, calloc, strdup, etc)
 - provide an API to compute the size and offset of an object pointed by

Move a few clients (GVN, AA, instcombine, ...) to the new API.
This implementation is a lot more aggressive than each of the custom implementations being replaced.

Patch reviewed by Nick Lewycky and Chandler Carruth, thanks.
