Matthias Braun 708626d601 SimplifyLibCalls: Optimize wcslen
Refactor the strlen optimization code to work for both strlen and wcslen.

This especially helps with programs in the wild where people pass
L"string"s to const std::wstring& function parameters and the wstring
constructor gets inlined.

This also fixes a lingerind API problem/bug in getConstantStringInfo()
where zeroinitializers would always give you an empty string (without a
length) back regardless of the actual length of the initializer which
did not work well in the TrimAtNul==false causing the PR mentioned
below.

Note that the fixed getConstantStringInfo() needed fixes to SelectionDAG
memcpy lowering and may lead to some cases for out-of-bounds
zeroinitializer accesses not getting optimized anymore. So some code
with UB may produce out of bound memory reads now instead of just
producing zeros.

The refactoring "accidentally" fixes http://llvm.org/PR32124

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))
