Philip Reames 9be9473394 Introduce enum values for previously defined metadata types. (NFC)
Our metadata scheme lazily assigns IDs to string metadata, but we have a mechanism to preassign them as well.  Using a preassigned ID is helpful since we get compile time type checking, and avoid some (minimal) string construction and comparison.  This change adds enum value for three existing metadata types:
+    MD_nontemporal = 9, // "nontemporal"
+    MD_mem_parallel_loop_access = 10, // "llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access"
+    MD_nonnull = 11 // "nonnull"

I went through an updated various uses as well.  I made no attempt to get all uses; I focused on the ones which were easily grepable and easily to translate.  For example, there were several items in LoopInfo.cpp I chose not to update.

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))
