George Burgess IV 058f700b77 [CFLAA] Teach CFLAnders to distinguish reads from writes.
This patch adds more specific edges to CFLAndersAliasAnalysis. The goal
of these edges is to give us more information about *how* two values
that MayAlias alias. With this, we can now tell cases like

a = b; // ergo, a may alias b

apart from

a = c;
b = c;

// so, a may alias b, but only because they were both assigned to c.

...And others.

Patch by Jia Chen.

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

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.

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

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
