Sanjoy Das e836f05d00 SCEVExpander incorrectly marks generated subtractions as nuw/nsw
It is not sound to mark the increment operation as `nuw` or `nsw`
based on a proof off of the add recurrence if the increment operation
we emit happens to be a `sub` instruction.

I could not come up with a test case for this -- the cases where
SCEVExpander decides to emit a `sub` instruction is quite small, and I
cannot think of a way I'd be able to get SCEV to prove that the
increment does not overflow in those cases.

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

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))
