Max Kazantsev 62b518b75a [SCEV] Fix buggy behavior in getAddExpr with truncs
SCEV tries to constant-fold arguments of trunc operands in SCEVAddExpr, and when it does
that, it passes wrong flags into the recursion. It is only valid to pass flags that are proved for
narrow type into a computation in wider type if we can prove that trunc instruction doesn't
actually change the value. If it did lose some meaningful bits, we may end up proving wrong
no-wrap flags for sum of arguments of trunc.

In the provided test we end up with `nuw` where it shouldn't be because of this bug.

The solution is to conservatively pass `SCEV::FlagAnyWrap` which is always a valid thing to do.

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))
