The most profitable basic block manipulation you can do doesn't involve
cloning at all, but merely the insertion of an empty basic block on any
arc that flows from a block with multiple successors to a block with
multiple predecessors. This greatly "opens up" optimizations such as
Morel-Renvois, and it also makes MR converge more quickly and reliably.
