Summary: This patch changes gc.statepoint intrinsic's return type to token type instead of i32 type. Using token types could prevent LLVM to merge different gc.statepoint nodes into PHI nodes and cause further problems with gc relocations. The patch also changes the way on how gc.relocate and gc.result look for their corresponding gc.statepoint on unwind path. The current implementation uses the selector value extracted from a { i8*, i32 } landingpad as a hook to find the gc.statepoint, while the patch directly uses a token type landingpad (http://reviews.llvm.org/D15405) to find the gc.statepoint.

We should remove noalias along with dereference and dereference_or_null attributes
because statepoint could potentially touch the entire heap including noalias objects.

Summary:
Once a gc.statepoint has been rewritten to relocate live references, the
SSA values represent physical pointers instead of logical references.
Logical dereferencability does not imply physical dereferencability and
after RewriteStatepointsForGC has run any attributes that imply
dereferencability of the logical references need to be stripped.
This current approach is conservative, and can be made more precise
later if needed. For starters, we need to strip dereferencable
attributes only from pointers that live in the GC address space.
