  [DSE] Do not scan users of memory terminators for further reads.

isMemTerminator checks if the current def is a memory terminator that
terminates the memory pointed to by DefLoc. We do not have to add any of
their users to the worklist, because the follow-on users cannot read the
memory in question.

This leads to more stores eliminated in the presence of lifetime calls.
Previously we added the users of those intrinsics to the worklist,
limiting elimination.

In terms of removed stores, this gives a nice boost on some benchmarks
(MultiSource/SPEC2000/SPEC2006 on X86 with -flto -O3):

Same hash: 205 (filtered out)
Remaining: 32
Metric: dse.NumFastStores
