Summary:
This patch limits the default number of iterations performed by InstCombine. It also exposes a new option that allows to specify how many iterations is considered getting stuck in an infinite loop.
Based on experiments performed on real-world C++ programs, InstCombine seems to perform at most ~8-20 iterations, so treating 1000 iterations as an infinite loop seems like a safe choice. See D71145 for details.
The two limits can be specified via command line options.

Summary:
This patch teaches InstCombine to accept a new parameter: maximum number of iterations over functions.
InstCombine tries to simplify instructions by iterating over the whole function until the function stops changing. As a consequence, the last iteration before reaching a fixpoint visits all instructions in the worklist and never performs any rewrites.
Bounding the number of iterations can have 2 benefits:
* In case the users of the pass can make a good guess about the number of required iterations, we can save the time normally spent on the last iteration that doesn't change anything.
* When the wants to use InstCombine as a cleanup pass, it may be enough to run just a few iterations and stop even before reaching a fixpoint. This can be also useful for implementing a lightweight pass pipeline (think `-O1`).
This patch does not change the behavior of opt or Clang -- limiting the number of iterations is entirely opt-in.
