Mike Stump a3bce35a07 Add a way for a frontend to generate more complex dwarf location
information.  This allows arbitrary code involving DW_OP_plus_uconst
and DW_OP_deref.  The scheme allows for easy extention to include,
any, or all of the DW_OP_ opcodes.  I thought about just exposing all
of them, but, wasn't sure if people wanted the dwarf opcodes exposed
in the api.  Is that a layering violation?

With this scheme, the entire existing block scheme used by llvm-gcc
can be switched over to the new scheme.  I think that would be
cleaner, as then the compiler specific bits are not present in llvm
proper.  Before the old code can be yanked however, similar code in
clang would have to be removed.

Next up, more testing.

Analysis Opportunities:

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.
