Manman Ren 9e81c3bdb2 TBAA: handle scalar TBAA format and struct-path aware TBAA format.
Remove the command line argument "struct-path-tbaa" since we should not depend
on command line argument to decide which format the IR file is using. Instead,
we check the first operand of the tbaa tag node, if it is a MDNode, we treat
it as struct-path aware TBAA format, otherwise, we treat it as scalar TBAA
format.

When clang starts to use struct-path aware TBAA format no matter whether
struct-path-tbaa is no, and we can auto-upgrade existing bc files, the support
for scalar TBAA format can be dropped.

Existing testing cases are updated to use the struct-path aware TBAA format.

Analysis Opportunities:

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

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))
