Bruno Cardoso Lopes 1b6ca9d0cc [CaptureTracking] Avoid long compilation time on large basic blocks
CaptureTracking becomes very expensive in large basic blocks while
calling PointerMayBeCaptured. PointerMayBeCaptured scans the BB the
number of times equal to the number of uses of 'BeforeHere', which is
currently capped at 20 and bails out with Tracker->tooManyUses().

The bottleneck here is the number of calls to PointerMayBeCaptured * the
basic block scan. In a testcase with a 82k instruction BB,
PointerMayBeCaptured is called 130k times, leading to 'shouldExplore'
taking 527k runs, this currently takes ~12min.

To fix this we locally (within PointerMayBeCaptured) number the
instructions in the basic block using a DenseMap to cache instruction
positions/numbers. We build the cache incrementally every time we need
to scan an unexplored part of the BB, improving compile time to only
take ~2min.

This triggers in the flow: DeadStoreElimination -> MepDepAnalysis ->
CaptureTracking.

Side note: after multiple runs in the test-suite I've seen no
performance nor compile time regressions, but could note a couple of
compile time improvements:

Performance Improvements - Compile Time Delta Previous  Current StdDev
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc-C++/bigfib -4.48%  0.8547  0.8164  0.0022

// A pointer value is captured if the function makes a copy of any part of the
// pointer that outlives the call. Not being captured means, more or less, that
// the pointer is only dereferenced and not stored in a global. Returning part
// of the pointer as the function return value may or may not count as capturing
// the pointer, depending on the context.
