  [PassManager] Run additional LICM before LoopRotate

Loop rotation often has to perform code duplication
from header into preheader, which introduces PHI nodes.

Now, we could enhance LoopRotate to avoid duplicating code when not needed,
but instead hoist loop-invariant code, but isn't that a code duplication? (*sic*)
We have LICM, and in fact we already run it right after LoopRotation.

We could try to move it to before LoopRotation,
that is basically free from compile-time perspective:
https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com/compare.php?from=6c93eb4477d88af046b915bc955c03693b2cbb58&to=a4bee6d07732b1184c436da489040b912f0dc271&stat=instructions
But, looking at stats, i think it isn't great that we would no longer do LICM after LoopRotation, in particular:

... but that actually regresses LICM (-12% `licm.NumMovedLoads`),
loop-simplifycfg (`NumLoopExitsDeleted`, `NumTerminatorsFolded`),
simple-loop-unswitch (`NumTrivial`).

What if we instead have LICM both before and after LoopRotate?

I.e. we end up with less instructions, less peeling, more LICM activity,
also note how none of those 4 regressions are here. Namely:

(this is vanilla llvm testsuite + rawspeed + darktable)

As an example of the code where early LICM only is bad, see:
https://godbolt.org/z/GzEbacs4K

This does have an observable compile-time regression of +~0.5% geomean
https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com/compare.php?from=7c5222e4d1a3a14f029e5f614c9aefd0fa505f1e&to=5d81826c3411982ca26e46b9d0aff34c80577664&stat=instructions
but i think that's basically nothing, and there's potential that it might
be avoidable in the future by fixing clang to produce alignment information
on function arguments, thus making the second run unneeded.
