Dan Gohman 448db1cdef Generalize IVUsers to track arbitrary expressions rather than expressions
explicitly split into stride-and-offset pairs. Also, add the
ability to track multiple post-increment loops on the same expression.

This refines the concept of "normalizing" SCEV expressions used for
to post-increment uses, and introduces a dedicated utility routine for
normalizing and denormalizing expressions.

This fixes the expansion of expressions which are post-increment users
of more than one loop at a time. More broadly, this takes LSR another
step closer to being able to reason about more than one loop at a time.

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

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.
