David Majnemer 594e4a1dd3 InstSimplify: Simplify trivial pointer expressions like b + (e - b)
consider:
long long *f(long long *b, long long *e) {
  return b + (e - b);
}

we would lower this to something like:
define i64* @f(i64* %b, i64* %e) {
  %1 = ptrtoint i64* %e to i64
  %2 = ptrtoint i64* %b to i64
  %3 = sub i64 %1, %2
  %4 = ashr exact i64 %3, 3
  %5 = getelementptr inbounds i64* %b, i64 %4
  ret i64* %5
}

This should fold away to just 'e'.

N.B.  This adds m_SpecificInt as a convenient way to match against a
particular 64-bit integer when using LLVM's match interface.

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))
