There's nothing to invent, really.  suitable_for_tail_opt_p was doing a
very weak test.  It should really test whether the local variable is
call-clobbered, which is computed using escape analysis.

We ought to check other places in the optimizers where we use
addressability instead of is_call_clobbered.

Fixed with this patch.  Will commit if testing doesn't show any
regressions.

        * tree-tailcall.c (suitable_for_tail_opt_p): Call
        is_call_clobbered instead of checking addressability.
