Hi,

PR 123629 is a somewhat complicated situation.  IPA-CP clones for a
known speculative polymorphic context in a situation when a caller
bringing the known context has itself already been cloned, and now we
can determine that the context coming from that clone is not
speculative (but otherwise the same).  This confuses the meet function
of contexts which gives up and returns a useless context, which in
turn triggers an assert because the value we originally cloned for is
nowhere to be found in the data structures which describe what we know
about the function clone.

This patch changes the meet function so that it can deal with this
situation.  When one of the contexts does not have a certain
component, the other one is moved to the speculative one.

The patch does not have a testcase, because even though Josef Melcr has
heroically managed to reduce the original Firefox LTO failure to six
small files, possibly a lot of work would be needed to make their LTO
link pass when this is fixed.

The patch has passed bootstrap and testing on x86_64-linux, I have also
LTO-bootstrapped it with -O3 and profiled-bootstrapped it.

OK for master?

Thanks,

Martin
