In some cases the library call simplifier may need to replace instructions
other than the library call being simplified. In those cases it may be
necessary for clients of the simplifier to override how the replacements
are actually done. As such, a new overrideable method for replacing
instructions was added to LibCallSimplifier.
A new subclass of LibCallSimplifier is also defined which overrides
the instruction replacement method. This is because the instruction
combiner defines its own replacement method which updates the worklist
when instructions are replaced.

This patch implements the new LibCallSimplifier class as outlined in [1].
In addition to providing the new base library simplification infrastructure,
all the fortified library call simplifications were moved over to the new
infrastructure. The rest of the library simplification optimizations will
be moved over with follow up patches.
NOTE: The original fortified library call simplifier located in the
SimplifyFortifiedLibCalls class was not removed because it is still
used by CodeGenPrepare. This class will eventually go away too.
