Sebastian Pop 421b2c571c remove constant terms
The delinearization is needed only to remove the non linearity induced by
expressions involving multiplications of parameters and induction variables.
There is no problem in dealing with constant times parameters, or constant times
an induction variable.

For this reason, the current patch discards all constant terms and multipliers
before running the delinearization algorithm on the terms. The only thing
remaining in the term expressions are parameters and multiply expressions of
parameters: these simplified term expressions are passed to the array shape
recognizer that will not recognize constant dimensions anymore: these will be
recognized as different strides in parametric subscripts.

The only important special case of a constant dimension is the size of elements.
Instead of relying on the delinearization to infer the size of an element,
compute the element size from the base address type. This is a much more precise
way of computing the element size than before, as we would have mixed together
the size of an element with the strides of the innermost dimension.

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))
