Use address-taken to disambiguate global variable and indirect memops.
Major steps include: 1). introduces a not-addr-taken bit-field in GlobalVariable 2). GlobalOpt pass sets "not-address-taken" if it proves a global varirable dosen't have its address taken. 3). AA use this info for disambiguation. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@193251 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

An explicit alignment may be specified for a global, which must be a
power of 2. If not present, or if the alignment is set to zero, the
alignment of the global is set by the target to whatever it feels
