  The following reduces the number of false positives in uninit analysis
by providing fallback for situations the current analysis gives up
and thus warns because it cannot prove initialization.

The first situation is when compute_control_dep_chain gives up walking
because it runs into either param_uninit_control_dep_attempts or
MAX_CHAIN_LEN.  If in the process it did not collect a single path
from function entry to the interesting PHI edge then we'll give up
and diagnose.  The following patch insteads provides a sparse path
including only those predicates that always hold when the PHI edge
is reached in that case.  That's cheap to produce but may in some
odd cases prove less precise than what the code tries now (enumerating
all possible paths from function entry to the PHI edge, but only
use the first N of those and only require unreachability of those N).

The second situation is when the set of predicates computed to hold
on the use stmt was formed from multiple paths (there's a similar
enumeration of all paths and their predicates from the PHI def to the
use).  In that case use_preds.use_cannot_happen gives up because
it doesn't know which of the predicates from which path from PHI to
the use it can use to prove unreachability of the PHI edge that has
the uninitialized def.  The patch for this case simply computes
the intersection of the predicates and uses that for further analysis,
but in a crude way since the predicate vectors are not sorted.
Fortunately the total size is limited - we have max MAX_NUM_CHAINS
number of predicates each of length MAX_CHAIN_LEN so the brute
force intersection code should behave quite reasonable in practice.

Bootstrap and regtest running on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

The testcase that made me produce this is tree-ssa-math-opts.cc
compiled with the backward jump threading limit increased by
a factor of two, so I don't have any testcase, not even one
with some --param adjustment (because that also affects DOM).

	* gimple-predicate-analysis.cc (predicate::use_cannot_happen):
	If the use is guarded with multiple predicate paths compute
	the predicates intersection before going forward.  When
	compute_control_dep_chain wasn't able to come up with at
	least one path from function entry to the PHI edge compute
	a conservative sparse path instead.
