  DSE isn't good at identifying program points that end lifetime
of variables that are not associated with virtual operands.  But
at least for those that end basic-blocks we can handle the simple
case where this ending is in the same basic-block as the definition
we want to elide.  That should catch quite some common cases already.

Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

As you can see from the testcase I had to adjust this possibly can
lead to more severe issues when one forgets a return (the C++ frontend
places builtin_unreachable () there).  I'm still planning to push
this improvement unless I hear objections.

Thanks,
Richard.

	* tree-ssa-dse.cc (dse_classify_store): When we found
	no defs and the basic-block with the original definition
	ends in __builtin_unreachable[_trap] the store is dead.

	* gcc.dg/tree-ssa/ssa-dse-47.c: New testcase.
	* c-c++-common/asan/pr106558.c: Avoid undefined behavior
	due to missing return.
