[PR69123] fix VTA dataflow oscillation

Here are two patches related with PR69123, an infinite dataflow loop in
VTA.

The first non-comment hunk in var-tracking.c:drop_overlapping_mem_locs
is what fixes the problem, but the other changes in the first patch fix
similar problems that might cause other such oscillations.

The second patch adds some more information to detailed vartrack dumps,
avoiding short-circuiting of dataflow set compares and dumping added and
removed locations for variables present in both sets.

The patches are largely independent, but they were successfully
regstrapped together on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.  They were
only compile-tested separately.

Ok to install?


[PR69123] fix handling of MEMs in VTA to avoid dataflow oscillation

From: Alexandre Oliva <aoliva@redhat.com>

The problem arises because we used to drop overwritten MEMs from loc
lists of VALUEs, but not of other onepart variables, and it just so
happens that, by doing so, block 6 in the testcase has no D#5 in its
output in the first pass, because the MEM holding its (previous) value
was correctly dropped from value 88:88, but gains it in the second
pass because D#5 has the MEM location incoming directly in its loc
list, rather than indirectly in a VALUE.

This incorrect binding enables other blocks to believe they have a
tentative binding for D#5 in some cycles, but others, still operating
on the early conclusion, believe there isn't, and they oscillate from
that.

Since we check for escaping MEMs in clobbers, we won't lose anything
relevant by dropping call-clobbered or overwritten MEMs in all onepart
variables, and this ensures the loc intersection operation in onepart
vars won't let a MEM through that wasn't present in earlier
iterations.
