    Disable threading through latches until after loop optimizations.
    
    The motivation for this patch was enabling the use of global ranges in
    the path solver, but this caused certain properties of loops being
    destroyed which made subsequent loop optimizations to fail.
    Consequently, this patch's mail goal is to disable jump threading
    involving the latch until after loop optimizations have run.
    
    As can be seen in the test adjustments, we mostly shift the threading
    from the early threaders (ethread, thread[12] to the late threaders
    thread[34]).  I have nuked some of the early notes in the testcases
    that came as part of the jump threader rewrite.  They're mostly noise
    now.
    
    Note that we could probably relax some other restrictions in
    profitable_path_p when loop optimizations have completed, but it would
    require more testing, and I'm hesitant to touch more things than needed
    at this point.  I have added a reminder to the function to keep this
    in mind.
    
    Finally, perhaps as a follow-up, we should apply the same restrictions to
    the forward threader.  At some point I'd like to combine the cost models.
    
    Tested on x86-64 Linux.
    
    p.s. There is a thorough discussion involving the limitations of jump
    threading involving loops here:

            (back_threader_profitability::profitable_path_p): Disable
            threading through latches until after loop optimizations have run.
    
    gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
            * gcc.dg/tree-ssa/ssa-dom-thread-2b.c: Adjust for disabling of

-/* All the threads in the thread1 dump start on a X->BB12 edge, as can
-   be seen in the dump:
-
-     Registering FSM jump thread: (x, 12) incoming edge; ...
-     etc
-     etc
-
-   Before the new evrp, we were threading paths that started at the
-   following edges:
-
-      Registering FSM jump thread: (10, 12) incoming edge
-      Registering FSM jump thread:  (6, 12) incoming edge
-      Registering FSM jump thread:  (9, 12) incoming edge
-
-   This was because the PHI at BB12 had constant values coming in from
-   BB10, BB6, and BB9:
-
-   # state_10 = PHI <state_11(7), 0(10), state_11(5), 1(6), state_11(8), 2(9), state_11(11)>
-
-   Now with the new evrp, we get:
-
-   # state_10 = PHI <0(7), 0(10), state_11(5), 1(6), 0(8), 2(9), 1(11)>
-
-   Thus, we have 3 more paths that are known to be constant and can be
-   threaded.  Which means that by the second threading pass, we can
-   only find one profitable path.
-
-   For the record, all these extra constants are better paths coming
-   out of switches.  For example:
-
-     SWITCH_BB -> BBx -> BBy -> BBz -> PHI
-
-   We now know the value of the switch index at PHI.  */
