return values that are still (partially) live. Instead of updating all uses of
a call instruction after removing some elements, it now just rebuilds the
original struct (With undef gaps where the unused values were) and leaves it to
instcombine to clean this up.
The added testcase still fails currently, but this is due to instcombine which
isn't good enough yet. I will fix that part next.

Rewrite the DeadArgumentElimination pass, to use a more explicit tracking of
dependencies between return values and/or arguments. Also make the handling of
arguments and return values the same.
The pass now looks properly inside returned structs, but only at the first
level (ie, not inside nested structs).
This version fixed a few more bugs and was cleaned up a bit. It now passes all
of LLVM's testing, and should still pass SPEC2006. There is still a minor bug
with regard to returning nested structs. Since there is currently nothing that
emits such IR, I will fix that in a seperate commit (partly because it requires
a non-trivial fix).

This is a fixed version that no longer uses multimap::equal_range, which
resulted in a pointer invalidation problem.
Also, DAE::InspectedFunctions was not really necessary, so it got removed.
Lastly, this version no longer applies the extra arg hack on functions who did
not have any arguments to start with.

Also add a testcase for testing various variations of (multiple) dead rerturn
values.
