Dan Gohman 0afc29c3e6 Change SCEVNAryExpr's operand array from a SmallVector to a plain
pointer and length, and allocate the arrays in ScalarEvolution's
BumpPtrAllocator, so that they get released when their owning
SCEV gets released. SCEVs are immutable, so they don't need to worry
about operand array resizing. This fixes a memory leak reported
in PR6637.

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

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.
