Sanjoy Das 011536a1cc [SCEV] Fix PR22856.
Summary:
ScalarEvolutionExpander assumes that the header block of a loop is a
legal place to have a use for a phi node.  This is true only for phis
that are either in the header or dominate the header block, but it is
not true for phi nodes that are strictly internal to the loop body.

This change teaches ScalarEvolutionExpander to place uses of PHI nodes
in the basic block the PHI nodes belong to.  This is always legal, and
`hoistIVInc` ensures that the said position dominates `IsomorphicInc`.

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

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))
