Add a trivially simple pass to delete unreachable blocks from the CFG. This

pass is required to paper over problems in the code generator (primarily
live variables and its clients) which doesn't really have any well defined
semantics for unreachable code.

The proper solution to this problem is to have instruction selectors not
select blocks that are unreachable.  Until we have a instruction selection
framework available for use, however, we can't expect all instruction
selector writers to do this.  Until then, this pass should be used.

+// This pass is an extremely simple version of the SimplifyCFG pass.  Its sole
+// job is to delete LLVM basic blocks that are not reachable from the entry
+// node.  To do this, it performs a simple depth first traversal of the CFG,
+// then deletes any unvisited nodes.
+//
+// Note that this pass is really a hack.  In particular, the instruction
+// selectors for various targets should just not generate code for unreachable
+// blocks.  Until LLVM has a more systematic way of defining instruction
+// selectors, however, we cannot really expect them to handle additional
+// complexity.
