> The most common and frequent use of NonEscaping Phis merging object allocations is for debugging information. The two graphs below show numbers for Renaissance and DaCapo benchmarks - similar results are obtained for all other applications that I tested.
> 
> With what frequency does each IR node type occurs as an allocation merge user? I.e., if the same node type uses a Phi N times the counter is incremented by N:

> This PR adds support scalar replacing allocations participating in merges used as debug information OR as a base for field loads. I plan to create subsequent PRs to enable scalar replacement of merges used by other node types (CmpP is next on the list) subsequently.
> 
> The approach I used for _rematerialization_ is pretty straightforward. It consists basically of the following. 1) New IR node (suggested by V. Kozlov), named SafePointScalarMergeNode, to represent a set of SafePointScalarObjectNode; 2) Each scalar replaceable input participating in a merge will get a SafePointScalarObjectNode like if it weren't part of a merge. 3) Add a new Class to support the rematerialization of SR objects that are part of a merge; 4) Patch HotSpot to be able to serialize and deserialize debug information related to allocation merges; 5) Patch C2 to generate unique types for SR objects participating in some allocation merges.
> 
> The approach I used for _enabling the scalar replacement of some of the inputs of the allocation merge_ is also pretty straightforward: call `MemNode::split_through_phi` to, well, split AddP->Load* through the merge which will render the Phi useless.
> 
> I tested this with JTREG tests tier 1-4 (Windows, Linux, and Mac) and didn't see regression. I also experimented with several applications and didn't see any failure. I also ran tests with "-ea -esa -Xbatch -Xcomp -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:-TieredCompilation -server -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+StressLCM -XX:+StressGCM -XX:+StressCCP" and didn't observe any related failures.

   Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into rematerialization-of-merges
 - Fix tests. Remember previous reducible Phis.
 - Address PR review 3. Some comments and be able to abort compilation.
 - Merge with Master
 - Addressing PR review 2: refactor & reuse MacroExpand::scalar_replacement method.
 - Address PR feeedback 1: make ObjectMergeValue subclass of ObjectValue & create new IR class to represent scalarized merges.
 - Add support for SR'ing some inputs of merges used for field loads
 - Fix some typos and do some small refactorings.
