Introduce CfgTraits abstraction
The CfgTraits abstraction simplfies writing algorithms that are
generic over the type of CFG, and enables writing such algorithms
as regular non-template code that operates on opaque references
to CFG blocks and values.
Implementations of CfgTraits provide operations on the concrete
CFG types, e.g. `IrCfgTraits::BlockRef` is `BasicBlock *`.
CfgInterface is an abstract base class which provides operations
on opaque types CfgBlockRef and CfgValueRef. Those opaque types
encapsulate a `void *`, but the meaning depends on the concrete
CFG type. For example, MachineCfgTraits -- for use with MachineIR
in SSA form -- encodes a Register inside CfgValueRef. Converting
between concrete references and opaque/generic ones is done by
CfgTraits::{fromGeneric,toGeneric}. Convenience methods
CfgTraits::{un}wrap{Iterator,Range} are available as well.
Writing algorithms in terms of CfgInterface adds some overhead
(virtual method calls, plus in same cases it removes the
opportunity to inlin...
