Patch by Michele Scandale!
Rewrite of the functions used to compute the backedge taken count of a
loop on LT and GT comparisons.
I decided to split the handling of LT and GT cases becasue the trick
"a > b == -a < -b" in some cases prevents the trip count computation
due to the multiplication by -1 on the two operands of the
comparison. This issue comes from the conservative computation of
value range of SCEVs: taking the negative SCEV of an expression that
have a small positive range (e.g. [0,31]), we would have a SCEV with a
fullset as value range.
Indeed, in the new rewritten function I tried to better handle the
maximum backedge taken count computation when MAX/MIN expression are
used to handle the cases where no entry guard is found.
Some test have been modified in order to check the new value correctly
(I manually check them and reasoning on possible overflow the new
values seem correct).
I finally added a new test case related to the multiplication by -1
issue on GT comparisons.

This was done through the aid of a terrible Perl creation. I will not
paste any of the horrors here. Suffice to say, it require multiple
staged rounds of replacements, state carried between, and a few
nested-construct-parsing hacks that I'm not proud of. It happens, by
luck, to be able to deal with all the TCL-quoting patterns in evidence
in the LLVM test suite.
If anyone is maintaining large out-of-tree test trees, feel free to poke
me and I'll send you the steps I used to convert things, as well as
answer any painful questions etc. IRC works best for this type of thing
I find.
Once converted, switch the LLVM lit config to use ShTests the same as
Clang. In addition to being able to delete large amounts of Python code
from 'lit', this will also simplify the entire test suite and some of
lit's architecture.
Finally, the test suite runs 33% faster on Linux now. ;]

input filename so that opt doesn't print the input filename in the
output so that grep lines in the tests don't unintentionally match
strings in the input filename.

compute an upper-bound value for the trip count, in addition to
the actual trip count. Use this to allow getZeroExtendExpr and
getSignExtendExpr to fold casts in more cases.
This may eventually morph into a more general value-range
analysis capability; there are certainly plenty of places where
more complete value-range information would allow more folding.

Use it to safely handle less-than-or-equals-to exit conditions in loops. These
also occur when the loop exit branch is exit on true because SCEV inverses the
icmp predicate.
Use it again to handle non-zero strides, but only with an unsigned comparison
in the exit condition.
