Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [ArgPromotion] Handle pointer arguments of recursive
 calls

Argument promotion doesn't handle recursive function calls to promote
arguments. This patch adds functionality to handle self recursive
function calls, i.e. whose SCC size is 1. Due to complexity of Value
Tracking in recursive calls with SCC size greater than 1, we bail out
in such cases.
