Chandler Carruth 883dec8d65 Teach the load analysis driving core instcombine logic and other bits of
logic to look through pointer casts, making them trivially stronger in
the face of loads and stores with intervening pointer casts.

I've included a few test cases that demonstrate the kind of folding
instcombine can do without pointer casts and then variations which
obfuscate the logic through bitcasts. Without this patch, the variations
all fail to optimize fully.

This is more important now than it has been in the past as I've started
moving the load canonicialization to more closely follow the value type
requirements rather than the pointer type requirements and thus this
needs to be prepared for more pointer casts. When I made the same change
to stores several test cases regressed without logic along these lines
so I wanted to systematically improve matters first.

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

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))
