The primary advantage is that loop optimizations will be applied in a
stable order. This helps debugging and unit test creation. It is also
a better overall implementation without pathologically bad performance
on deep functions.
On large functions (llvm-stress --size=200000 | opt -loops)
Before: 0.1263s
After: 0.0225s
On deep functions (after tweaking llvm-stress, thanks Nadav):
Before: 0.2281s
After: 0.0227s
See r158790 for more comments.
The loop tree is now consistently generated in forward order, but loop
passes are applied in reverse order over the program. If we have a
loop optimization that prefers forward order, that can easily be
achieved by adding a different type of LoopPassManager.

1. Size heuristics changed. Now we calculate number of unswitching
branches only once per loop.
2. Some checks was moved from UnswitchIfProfitable to
processCurrentLoop, since it is not changed during processCurrentLoop
iteration. It allows decide to skip some loops at an early stage.
Extended statistics:
- Added total number of instructions analyzed.

time regressions. In general, it is beneficial to compile-time.
