Chris Lattner d2c1936c14 implement the first part of PR8882: when lowering an inbounds
gep to explicit addressing, we know that none of the intermediate
computation overflows.

This could use review: it seems that the shifts certainly wouldn't
overflow, but could the intermediate adds overflow if there is a 
negative index?

Previously the testcase would instcombine to:

define i1 @test(i64 %i) {
  %p1.idx.mask = and i64 %i, 4611686018427387903
  %cmp = icmp eq i64 %p1.idx.mask, 1000
  ret i1 %cmp
}

now we get:

define i1 @test(i64 %i) {
  %cmp = icmp eq i64 %i, 1000
  ret i1 %cmp
}
