Graham Hunter ea3b91f5a6 [SVE][IR] Scalable Vector size queries and IR instruction support
* Adds a TypeSize struct to represent the known minimum size of a type
  along with a flag to indicate that the runtime size is a integer multiple
  of that size
* Converts existing size query functions from Type.h and DataLayout.h to
  return a TypeSize result
* Adds convenience methods (including a transparent conversion operator
  to uint64_t) so that most existing code 'just works' as if the return
  values were still scalars.
* Uses the new size queries along with ElementCount to ensure that all
  supported instructions used with scalable vectors can be constructed
  in IR.

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

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))
