This is the start of the new SjLj EH preparation pass, which will replace the
current IR-level pass.

The old SjLj EH pass has some problems, especially with the new EH model. Most
significantly, it violates some of the new restrictions the new model has. For
instance, the 'dispatch' table wants to jump to the landing pad, but we cannot
allow that because only an invoke's unwind edge can jump to a landing pad. This
requires us to mangle the code something awful. In addition, we need to keep the
now dead landingpad instructions around instead of CSE'ing them because the
DWARF emitter uses that information (they are dead because no control flow edge
will execute them - the control flow edge from an invoke's unwind is superceded
by the edge coming from the dispatch).

Basically, this pass belongs not at the IR level where SSA is king, but at the
code-gen level, where we have more flexibility.
