[PATCH] Inverse post-order traversal for LiveVariables analysis, to recover the performance after r214064

I actually still think, that I have some code that started taking large
time to be analyzed after r214064 and didn't recover after r215650. But I
didn't get to creating a reasonable repro for you. And the number of files
left affected after r215650 is so small, that I didn't prioritize this high
enough. I'll still try to provide a repro soon.
