target data to decide which loop induction variables to strength reduce
and how to do so. This work is mostly by Chris Lattner, with tweaks by
me to get it working on some of MultiSource.

* Loop invariant code does not dominate the loop header, but rather
the end of the loop preheader.
* The base for a reduced GEP isn't a constant unless all of its
operands (preceding the induction variable) are constant.
* Allow induction variable elimination for the simple case after all.
Also made changes recommended by Chris for properly deleting
instructions.

loops. This optimization is not turned on by default yet, but may be run
with the opt tool's -loop-reduce flag. There are many FIXMEs listed in the
code that will make it far more applicable to a wide range of code, but you
have to start somewhere :)
This limited version currently triggers on the following tests in the
MultiSource directory:
pcompress2: 7 times
cfrac: 5 times
anagram: 2 times
ks: 6 times
yacr2: 2 times
