Summary:
This change introduces a !make.implicit metadata that allows the
frontend to pre-select the set of explicit null checks that will be
considered for transformation into implicit null checks.
The reason for not using profiling data instead of !make.implicit is
explained in the change to `FaultMaps.rst`.

Summary:
This instruction encodes a loading operation that may fault, and a label
to branch to if the load page-faults. The locations of potentially
faulting loads and their "handler" destinations are recorded in a
FaultMap section, meant to be consumed by LLVM's clients.
Nothing generates FAULTING_LOAD_OP instructions yet, but they will be
used in a future change.
The documentation (FaultMaps.rst) needs improvement and I will update
this diff with a more expanded version shortly.
Depends on D10196
