Summary:
Currently, loop deletion deletes loop where the only values
that are used outside the loop are loop-invariant.
This patch adds logic to delete loops where the loop is proven to be
never executed (i.e. the only predecessor of the loop preheader has a
constant conditional branch as terminator, and the preheader is not the
taken target). This will remove loops that become dead after
loop-unswitching generates constant conditional branches.
The next steps are:
1. moving the loop deletion implementation to LoopUtils.
2. Add logic in loop-simplifyCFG which will support changing conditional
constant branches to unconditional branches. If loops become unreachable in this
process, they can be removed using `deleteDeadLoop` function.
