-fstrict-aliasing fixes 4/6: do not fiddle with flag_strict_aliasing when expanding debug locations

Hi,
I discussed the situation with Jakub on IRC today.  It seems we still want
to have alias sets in the dumps, but Jakub agrees with introduction new global
var to control this instead of tampering with flag_strict_aliasing.

This patch does that and also fixes expand_call_stmt which forget to set the
flag.  Additionally I modified get_alias_set to lookup existing alias set
whever possible. In majority of cases the alias set is there because the
variable was optimized out and the optimizers thus touched it earlier.

Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux including ada. OK?

	* cfgexpand.c: Include alias.h
	(expand_call_stmt, expand_debug_expr): Set no_new_alias_sets;
	do not fiddle with flag_strict_aliasing
	* alias.c (no_new_alias_sets): New global var.
	(get_alias_set): Do not introduce new alias sets when
	no_new_alias_sets is set.
	(new_alias_set): Check that no new alias sets are introduced.
	* alias.h (no_new_alias_sets): Declare.
	* varasm.c: Include alias.h
	(make_decl_rtl_for_debug): Use no_new_alias_sets instead of
	flag_strict_aliasing.
