  [WebAssembly] Fix getBottom for loops

When it was first created, CFGSort only made sure BBs in each
`MachineLoop` are sorted together. After we added exception support,
CFGSort now also sorts BBs in each `WebAssemblyException`, which
represents a `catch` block, together, and
`Region` class was introduced to be a thin wrapper for both
`MachineLoop` and `WebAssemblyException`.

But how we compute those loops and exceptions is different.
`MachineLoopInfo` is constructed using the standard loop computation
algorithm in LLVM; the definition of loop is "a set of BBs that are
dominated by a loop header and have a path back to the loop header". So
even if some BBs are semantically contained by a loop in the original
program, or in other words dominated by a loop header, if they don't
have a path back to the loop header, they are not considered a part of
the loop. For example, if a BB is dominated by a loop header but
contains `call abort()` or `rethrow`, it wouldn't have a path back to
the header, so it is not included in the loop.

But `WebAssemblyException` is wasm-specific data structure, and its
algorithm is simple: a `WebAssemblyException` consists of an EH pad and
all BBs dominated by the EH pad. So this scenario is possible: (This is
also the situation in the newly added test in cfg-stackify-eh.ll)

```
Loop L: header, A, ehpad, latch
Exception E: ehpad, latch, B
```
(B contains `abort()`, so it does not have a path back to the loop
header, so it is not included in L.)

And it is sorted in this order:
```
header
A
ehpad
latch
B
```

And when CFGStackify places `end_loop` or `end_try` markers, it
previously used `WebAssembly::getBottom()`, which returns the latest BB
in the sorted order, and placed the marker there. So in this case the
marker placements will be like this:
```
loop
  header
  try
    A
  catch
    ehpad
    latch
end_loop         <-- misplaced!
    B
  end_try
```
in which nesting between the loop and the exception is not correct.
`end_loop` marker has to be placed after `B`, and also after `end_try`.

Maybe the fundamental way to solve this problem is to come up with our
own algorithm for computing loop region too, in which we include all BBs
dominated by a loop header in a loop. But this takes a lot more effort.
The only thing we need to fix is actually, `getBottom()`. If we make it
return the right BB, which means in case of a loop, the latest BB of the
loop itself and all exceptions contained in there, we are good.

This renames `Region` and `RegionInfo` to `SortRegion` and
`SortRegionInfo` and extracts them into their own file. And add
`getBottom` to `SortRegionInfo` class, from which it can access
`WebAssemblyExceptionInfo`, so that it can compute a correct bottom
block for loops.
