Remove alloca tracking from nocapture analysis. Not only

was it not very helpful, it was also wrong!  The problem
is shown in the testcase: the alloca might be passed to
a nocapture callee which dereferences it and returns the
original pointer.  But because it was a nocapture call we
think we don't need to track its uses, but we do.
