BasicAliasAnalysis and FunctionAttrs were both
doing very similar pointer capture analysis. Factor out the common logic. The new version is from FunctionAttrs since it does a better job than the version in BasicAliasAnalysis git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@62461 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
