// This pass makes sure that all branches are in range.  There are several ways
// in which this could be done.  One aggressive approach is to assume that all
// branches are in range and successively replace those that turn out not
// to be in range with a longer form (branch relaxation).  A simple
// implementation is to continually walk through the function relaxing
// branches until no more changes are needed and a fixed point is reached.
// However, in the pathological worst case, this implementation is
// quadratic in the number of blocks; relaxing branch N can make branch N-1
// go out of range, which in turn can make branch N-2 go out of range,
// and so on.
//
// An alternative approach is to assume that all branches must be
// converted to their long forms, then reinstate the short forms of
// branches that, even under this pessimistic assumption, turn out to be
// in range (branch shortening).  This too can be implemented as a function
// walk that is repeated until a fixed point is reached.  In general,
// the result of shortening is not as good as that of relaxation, and
// shortening is also quadratic in the worst case; shortening branch N
// can bring branch N-1 in range of the short form, which in turn can do
// the same for branch N-2, and so on.  The main advantage of shortening
// is that each walk through the function produces valid code, so it is
// possible to stop at any point after the first walk.  The quadraticness
// could therefore be handled with a maximum pass count, although the
// question then becomes: what maximum count should be used?
//
// On SystemZ, long branches are only needed for functions bigger than 64k,
// which are relatively rare to begin with, and the long branch sequences
// are actually relatively cheap.  It therefore doesn't seem worth spending
// much compilation time on the problem.  Instead, the approach we take is:
//
// (1) Work out the address that each block would have if no branches
//     need relaxing.  Exit the pass early if all branches are in range
//     according to this assumption.
//
// (2) Work out the address that each block would have if all branches
//     need relaxing.
//
// (3) Walk through the block calculating the final address of each instruction
//     and relaxing those that need to be relaxed.  For backward branches,
//     this check uses the final address of the target block, as calculated
//     earlier in the walk.  For forward branches, this check uses the
//     address of the target block that was calculated in (2).  Both checks
//     give a conservatively-correct range.
