Misc readability and doc / code comment related improvements - NFC

- when SSAValue/MLValue existed, code at several places was forced to create additional
  aggregate temporaries of SmallVector<SSAValue/MLValue> to handle the conversion; get
  rid of such redundant code

- use filling ctors instead of explicit loops

- for smallvectors, change insert(list.end(), ...) -> append(...

- improve comments at various places

- turn getMemRefAccess into MemRefAccess ctor and drop duplicated
  getMemRefAccess. In the next CL, provide getAccess() accessors for load,
  store, DMA op's to return a MemRefAccess.
