Subject: [PATCH] [Polly] Bound ISL operations during AST generation to prevent
 indefinite compile time

When -polly-process-unprofitable is used, this allows
SCoPs with complex iteration domains to reach ISL AST generation.
This patch applies IslMaxOperationsGuard around
isl_ast_build_node_from_schedule() in IslAst::init().
A new flag polly-astgen-computeout (default 3000000) controls
the limit.
Also this patch handles the null object leaks (which may emerge
due to polly functions being invoked via callbacks registered
in IslAst::init()), false-positives generated due to im-precise
handling of isl_bool types, few other cases such that we can
avoid the mis-compilation or semantically incorrect compilation.

Also added a unit testcase with description

Fixes #201801

+; This test checks that Polly's ISL AST generation aborts gracefully when the
+; ISL operation quota (set via -polly-astgen-computeout) is exhausted, instead
+; of running for an unbounded amount of time.
+;
+; The SCoP is constructed to be deliberately expensive for AST generation:
+;   - a large iteration space (the outer loop runs with trip count 65536, see
+;     the exit test 'icmp eq i64 %phi, 65536' in bb49), combined with
+;   - a long chain of conditionals (bb9, bb15, bb18, ... bb48), where one
+;     branch of every conditional flows into the common block bb7.
+; Because bb7 is reached from all of these predecessors, its domain becomes the
+; union of every reaching condition, which pushes ISL AST generation into a
+; high-dimensional, blow-up search space. Without a bound this does not finish
+; in reasonable time.
+; This test case has the same characteristics as the one in
+; PR https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/203073, but is effectively a
+; "larger problem". The complexity of its structure made this test case bail
+; out of the DeLICM phase, yet it previously got stuck in the ISL AST
+; generation phase.
+;
+; The operation limit of polly-astgen-computeout is set to 1 -- the smallest
+; value that still arms the guard (0 means unbounded) -- so the quota trips
+; as early as possible and the test does not depend on an arbitrary tuned cutoff value.
