If x is known to have the range [a, b), in a loop predicated by (icmp
ne x, a) its range can be sharpened to [a + 1, b). Get
ScalarEvolution and hence IndVars to exploit this fact.
This change triggers an optimization to widen-loop-comp.ll, so it had
to be edited to get it to pass.
This change was originally landed in r219834 but had a bug and broke
ASan. It was reverted in r219878, and is now being re-landed after
fixing the original bug.

This improves other optimizations such as LSR. A sext may be added to the
compare's other operand, but this can often be hoisted outside of the loop.
