[LAA] LLE 1/6: Expose Forward dependences
Summary: Before this change, we didn't use to collect forward dependences since none of the current clients (LV, LDist) required them. The motivation to also collect forward dependences is a new pass LoopLoadElimination (LLE) which discovers store-to-load forwarding opportunities across the loop's backedge. The pass uses both lexically forward or backward loop-carried dependences to detect these opportunities. The new pass also analyzes loop-independent (forward) dependences since they can conflict with the loop-carried dependences in terms of how the data flows through memory. The newly added test only covers loop-carried forward dependences because loop-independent ones are currently categorized as NoDep. The next patch will fix this. The two patches were tested together for compile-time regression. None found in LNT/SPEC. Note that with this change LAA provides all dependences rather than just "interesting" ones. A subsequent NFC patch will remove the now trivial isInterestingDependence and rename the APIs.
