Document wf constraints on control flow in cleanup blocks

Was recently made aware of [this code](a377893da2/compiler/rustc_codegen_ssa/src/mir/analyze.rs (L247-L368)), which has this potential ICE: a377893da2/compiler/rustc_codegen_ssa/src/mir/analyze.rs (L308-L314)

Roughly speaking, the code there is attempting to partition the cleanup blocks into funclets that satisfy a "unique successor" property, and the ICE is set off if that's not possible. This PR documents the well-formedness constraints that MIR must satisfy to avoid setting off that ICE.

The constraints documented are slightly stronger than the cases in which the ICE would have been set off in that code. This is necessary though, since whether or not that ICE gets set off can depend on iteration order in some graphs.

This sort of constraint is kind of ugly, but I don't know a better alternative at the moment. It's worth knowing that two important optimizations are still correct:
 - Removing edges in the cfg: Fewer edges => fewer paths => stronger dominance relations => more contractions, and more contractions can't turn a forest into not-a-forest.
 - Contracting an edge u -> v when u only has one successor and v only has one predecessor: u already dominated v, so this contraction was going to happen anyway.

There is definitely a MIR opt somewhere that can run afoul of this, but I don't know where it is. `@saethlin` was able to set it off though, so maybe he'll be able to shed some light on it.

r? `@RalfJung` I suppose, and cc `@tmiasko` who might have insight/opinions on this
