SimplifyCFG: If we have a PHI node that can evaluate to NULL and do a load or store to the address returned by the PHI node then we can consider this incoming value as dead and remove the edge pointing there, unless there are instructions that can affect control flow executed in between.
In theory this could be extended to other instructions, eg. division by zero, but it's likely that it will "miscompile" some code because people depend on div by zero not trapping. NULL pointer dereference usually leads to a crash so we should be on the safe side.
This shrinks the size of a Release clang by 16k on x86_64.
