Enhance MemDep: When alias analysis returns a partial alias result,

return it as a clobber.  This allows GVN to do smart things.

Enhance GVN to be smart about the case when a small load is clobbered
by a larger overlapping load.  In this case, forward the value.  This
allows us to compile stuff like this:

int test(void *P) {
  int tmp = *(unsigned int*)P;
  return tmp+*((unsigned char*)P+1);
}

into:

_test:                                  ## @test
	movl	(%rdi), %ecx
	movzbl	%ch, %eax
	addl	%ecx, %eax
	ret

which has one load.  We already handled the case where the smaller
load was from a must-aliased base pointer.
