Major steps include:
1). introduces a not-addr-taken bit-field in GlobalVariable
2). GlobalOpt pass sets "not-address-taken" if it proves a global varirable
dosen't have its address taken.
3). AA use this info for disambiguation.

LLVM IR doesn't currently allow atomic bool load/store operations, and the
transformation is dubious anyway because it isn't profitable on all platforms.

* Most of the transforms come through intact by having each transformed load or
store copy the ordering and synchronization scope of the original.
* The transform that turns a global only accessed in main() into an alloca
(since main is non-recursive) with a store of the initial value uses an
unordered store, since it's guaranteed to be the first thing to happen in main.
(Threads may have started before main (!) but they can't have the address of a
function local before the point in the entry block we insert our code.)
* The heap-SRoA transforms are disabled in the face of atomic operations. This
can probably be improved; it seems odd to have atomic accesses to an alloca
that doesn't have its address taken.
AnalyzeGlobal keeps track of the strongest ordering found in any use of the
global. This is more information than we need right now, but it's cheap to
compute and likely to be useful.
