Based on this data: 
https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com/compare.php?from=95f4ca7f5db623bacc2e34548d39fe5b28d47bad&to=bfb9b8e075ee32197157ccaf0c301122ca9b81af&stat=instructions

This patch (adding a late round of TCE) caused a ~0.06% compile-time regression 
for a -O3 build (less for the LTO variants). So the value of splitting the pass 
as proposed in D60031 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D60031> depends on whether we 
think it's worth trying to save some (unknown?) fraction of the 0.06%.
We decided to push this for the known codegen wins, but someone can still 
revive the pass-splitting patch if it seems worthwhile.

One more note that I failed to mention while updating all of those clang tests: 
the reason those tests did not show "tail" before is because we only ran TCE 
with -O{2/3/s/z}, not -O1. This patch enabled TCE for all -O levels. I don't 
know the history/motivation for not including TCE at -O1 before, but it did not 
seem worth excluding based on compile-time cost. If there's another reason, we 
can add that limitation to the late invocation too (and it should cause 
most/all of the clang test diffs to revert).
