Silviu Baranga 94652aba1f Fix PR25372 - teach replaceCongruentPHIs to handle cases where SE evaluates a PHI to a SCEVConstant
Summary:
Since now Scalar Evolution can create non-add rec expressions for PHI
nodes, it can also create SCEVConstant expressions. This will confuse
replaceCongruentPHIs, which previously relied on the fact that SCEV
could not produce constants in this case.

We will now replace the node with a constant in these cases - or avoid
processing the Phi in case of a type mismatch.

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

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))
