[MDA] change BlockScanLimit into a command line option.

Summary:
In the benchmark (https://github.com/vetter/shoc) we are researching,
the duplicated load is not eliminated because MemoryDependenceAnalysis
hit the BlockScanLimit. This patch change it into a command line option
instead of a hardcoded value.

Patched by Xuetian Weng.
