cf1996b036 Introduce value aliases.
A extended value can now be changed to a third form: An alias of another
value. This is like a copy instruction, but implicit in the value table.

Value aliases are used in lieu of use-def chains which would be used to
implement replace-all-uses-with.

Added new DFG methods:

- change_to_alias() changes an existing extended value into an alias.
  Primay values can't be changed, replace their definition with a copy
  instruction instead.
- resolve_aliases() find the original non-alias value.
- resolve_copies() like resolve_aliases(), but also sees through
  copy/spill/fill instructions.

1305283ed8 Move the 'ins' method to DataFlowGraph.
This given us better symmetry between the replace and insert builder operations:

    dfg.replace(inst).iadd(x, y)
    dfg.ins(cursor).imul(x, y)

8422976d78 Add a ReplaceBuilder instruction builder.
The DataFlowGraph::replace(inst) method returns an instruction builder
that will replace an instruction in-place.

This will be used when transforming instructions, replacing an old
instruction with a new (legal) way of computing its primary value. Since
primary result values are essentially instruction pointers, this is the
only way of replacing the definition of a value.

If secondary result values match the old instruction in both number and
types, they can be reused. If not, added a detach_secondary_results()
method for detaching old secondary values.

cdb63a547e Add result values to call instructions too.
The make_inst_results() method now understands direct and indirect
calls, and can allocate result values matching the return types of the
function call.

1bcb8e25a2 Add signatures and ext_funcs tables to DataFlowGraph.
These two tables are used to keep track of type signatures of function
calls as well as external function references used in direct function
calls.

Also add an ExtFuncData struct representing an external function that
can be called directly.

846db00a21 Move library crates under 'lib/'.
Give these crates each a more standard directory layout with sources in
a 'src' sub-sirectory and Cargo.toml in the top lib/foo directory.

Add license and description fields to each.

The build script for the cretonne crate now lives in
'lib/cretonne/build.rs' separating it from the normal library sources
under 'lib/cretonne/src'.
