It's a bit of an ugly name, if we want something that keys on calls
that have an edge it should be obvious it does this.  I wouldn't
add is_noninternal_gimple_call.  With LTO and libgcc and internal
optab fns it's also less obvious in cases we want to have say
.DIVMODDI3 (...) which in the end maps to a LTOed libcall from libgcc.a
