Summary:
When forming expressions for phi nodes having an incoming value from
outside the loop A and a value coming from the previous iteration B
we were forming an AddRec if:
- B was an AddRec
- the value A was equal to the value for B at iteration -1 (or equal
to the value of B shifted by one iteration, at iteration 0)
In this case, we were computing the expression to be the expression of
B, shifted by one iteration.
This changes generalizes the logic above by removing the restriction that
B needs to be an AddRec. For this we introduce two expression rewriters
that allow us to
- shift an expression by one iteration
- get the value of an expression at iteration 0
This allows us to get SCEV expressions for PHI nodes when these expressions
are not AddRecExprs.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
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))
