Benjamin Kramer 19ea37059a SCEV: Make the final add of an inbounds GEP nuw if we know that the index is positive.
We can't do this for the general case as saying a GEP with a negative index
doesn't have unsigned wrap isn't valid for negative indices.
  %gep = getelementptr inbounds i32* %p, i64 -1

But an inbounds GEP cannot run past the end of address space. So we check for
the very common case of a positive index and make GEPs derived from that NUW.
Together with Andy's recent non-unit stride work this lets us analyze loops
like

  void foo3(int *a, int *b) {
    for (; a < b; a++) {}
  }

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

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))
