Bail out early if the visiting each reachable basic block once would have
exceeded the MaxBlockVisits limit. If that is the case, then actually
visiting and doing the dataflow analysis would hit the limit, but we
would have wasted a lot of time and possibly OOMed.

We've seen example of CFGs with # of blocks that are 2-8x the visit limit.
Those examples also tend to have lots of `Locs`, which we track in maps for
each BB. Since the maps do not share memory across BBs, this leads to
non-linear memory usage and OOMing before hitting the max visit limit.

Subject: [PATCH] [clang][FlowSensitive] Do a quick check and bail early for
 massive CFGs

Bail out early if the visiting each reachable basic block once would have
exceeded the MaxBlockVisits limit. If that is the case, then actually
visiting and doing the dataflow analysis would hit the limit, but we
would have wasted a lot of time and possibly OOMed.

We've seen example of CFGs with # of blocks that are 2-8x the visit limit.
Those examples also tend to have lots of `Locs`, which we track in maps for
each BB. Since the maps do not share memory across BBs, this leads to
non-linear memory usage and OOMing before hitting the max visit limit.
