This is 99.99% Aldy's work.  My only real contribution was twiddling one 
MIPS specific test in response to a regression after adding this patch 
to my tester.

In simplest terms, this patch converts DOM to use the Ranger 
infrastructure rather than the EVRP infrastructure.  I'd basically 
approved it before Aldy went on PTO and it's been sitting in my tester 
ever since.  So I figured it was time to go ahead and push it.

    Convert DOM to use Ranger rather than EVRP
    
    [Jeff, this is the same patch I sent you last week with minor tweaks
    to the commit message.]
    
    [Despite the verbosity of the message, this is actually a pretty
    straightforward patch.  It should've gone in last cycle, but there
    was a nagging regression I couldn't get to until after stage1
    had closed.]
    
    There are 3 uses of EVRP in DOM that must be converted.
    Unfortunately, they need to be converted in one go, so further
    splitting of this patch would be problematic.
    
    There's nothing here earth shattering.  It's all pretty obvious in
    retrospect, but I've added a short description of each use to aid in
    reviewing:
    
    * Convert evrp use in cprop to ranger.
    
      This is easy, as cprop in DOM was converted to the ranger API last
      cycle, so this is just a matter of using a ranger instead of an
      evrp_range_analyzer.
    
    * Convert evrp use in threader to ranger.
    
      The idea here is to use the hybrid approach we used for the initial
      VRP threader conversion last cycle.  The DOM threader will continue
      using the forward threader infrastructure while continuing to query
      DOM data structures, and only if the conditional does not relsolve,
      using the ranger.  This gives us the best of both worlds, and is a
      proven approach.
    
      Furthermore, as frange and prange come live in the next cycle, we
      can move away from the forward threader altogether, and just add
      another backward threader.  This will not only remove the last use
      of the forward threader, but will allow us to remove at least 1 or 2
      threader instances.
    
    * Convert conditional folding to use the method used by the ranger and
      evrp.  Previously DOM was calling into the guts of
      simplify_using_ranges::vrp_visit_cond_stmt.  The blessed way now is
      using fold_cond() which rewrites the conditional and edges
      automatically.
    
      When legacy is removed, simplify_using_ranges will be further
      cleaned up, and there will only be one entry point into simplifying
      a statement.
    
    * DOM was setting global ranges determined from unreachable edges as a
      side-effect of using the evrp engine.  We must handle these cases
      before nuking evrp, and DOM seems like a good fit.  I've just moved
      the snippet to DOM, but it could live anywhere else we do a DOM
      walk.
    
      For the record, this is the case *vrp handled:
    
            <bb C>:
            ...
            if (c_5(D) != 5)
            goto <bb N>;
            else
            goto <bb M>;
            <bb N>:
            __builtin_unreachable ();
            <bb M>:
    
      If M dominates all uses of c_5, we can set the global range of c_5
      to [5,5].
    
    I have tested on x86-64, pcc64le, and aarch64 Linux.
    
    I also ran threading benchmarks as well as performance benchmarks.
    
    DOM threads 1.56% more paths which ultimately yields a miniscule total
    increase of 0.03%.
    
    The conversion to ranger brings a 7.87% performance drop in DOM, which
    is a wash in overall compilation.  This is in line with other
    replacements of legacy evrp with ranger.  We handle a lot more cases.
    It's not free .
    
    There is a a regression on Wstringop-overflow-4.C which I'm planning
    on XFAILing.  It's another variant of the usual middle-end false
    positives: having no ranges produces no warnings, but slightly refined
    ranges, or worse-- isolating specific problematic cases in the
    threader causes flare-ups.
    
    As an aside, as Richi has suggested, I think we should discuss
    restricting the threader's ability to thread highly unlikely paths.
    These cause no end of pain for middle-end warnings.  However,
    I don't know if this would conflict with path isolation for
    things like null dereferencing.  ISTR you were interested in this.
    
    BTW, I think the Wstringop-overflow-4.C test is problematic and I've
    attached my analysis.  Basically the regression is caused by a bad
    interaction with the rounding/alignment that placement new has inlined
    into the IL.  This happens for int16_r[] which the test is testing.
    Ranger can glean some range info, which causes DOM threading to
    isolate a path which causes a warning.
    
    OK for trunk?
