Remove immediate dominator heuristic for error block detection.

This patch removes the heuristic in
- Polly :: lib/Support/ScopHelper.cpp

The heuristic forces blocks that directly follow a loop header to not to be considered error blocks.
It was introduced in r249611 with the following commit message:

>   This replaces the support for user defined error functions by a
>   heuristic that tries to determine if a call to a non-pure function
>   should be considered "an error". If so the block is assumed not to be
>   executed at runtime. While treating all non-pure function calls as
>   errors will allow a lot more regions to be analyzed, it will also
>   cause us to dismiss a lot again due to an infeasible runtime context.
>   This patch tries to limit that effect. A non-pure function call is
>   considered an error if it is executed only in conditionally with
>   regards to a cheap but simple heuristic.

In the code below `CCK_Abort2()` would be considered as an error block, but not `CCK_Abort1()` due to this heuristic.
```
for (int i = 0; i < n; i+=1) {
  if (ErrorCondition1)
    CCK_Abort1(); // No __attribute__((noreturn))
  if (ErrorCondition2)
    CCK_Abort2(); // No __attribute__((noreturn))
}
```

This does not seem useful. Checking error conditions in the beginning of some work is quite common. It causes a switch default-case to be not considered an error block in SPEC's cactuBSSN. The comment justifying the heuristic mentions a "load", which does not seem to be applicable here. It has been proposed to remove the heuristic.

In addition, the patch fixes the following test cases:
- Polly :: ScopDetect/mod_ref_read_pointer.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/max-loop-depth.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_access_pointee_arguments.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_read_pointee_arguments.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_read_pointer.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_read_pointers.ll

The test cases failed after removing the heuristic.
