LLVM loops cannot represent irreducible structures in the CFG. This change introduce the concept of cycles as a generalization of loops, along with a CycleInfo analysis that discovers a nested hierarchy of such cycles. This is based on Havlak (1997), Nesting of Reducible and Irreducible Loops. The cycle analysis is implemented as a generic template and then instatiated for LLVM IR and Machine IR. The template relies on a new GenericSSAContext template which must be specialized when used for each IR.
