Graphviz based flow graph pretty-printing.

Passing `--pretty flowgraph=<NODEID>` makes rustc print a control flow graph.

In pratice, you will also need to pass the additional option:
`-o <FILE>` to emit output to a `.dot` file for graphviz.

(You can only print the flow-graph for a particular block in the AST.)

----

An interesting implementation detail is the way the code puts both the
node index (`cfg::CFGIndex`) and a reference to the payload
(`cfg::CFGNode`) into the single `Node` type that is used for
labelling and walking the graph.  I had once mistakenly thought that I
only wanted the `cfg::CFGNode`, but for labelling, you really want the
cfg index too, rather than e.g. trying to use the `ast::NodeId` as the
label (which breaks down e.g. due to `ast::DUMMY_NODE_ID`).

----

As a drive-by fix, I had to fix `rustc::middle::cfg::construct`
interface to reflect changes that have happened on the master branch
while I was getting this integrated into the compiler.  (The next
commit actually adds tests of the `--pretty flowgraph` functionality,
so that should ensure that the `rustc::middle::cfg` code does not go
stale again.)
