Dan Gohman b80a2a686f Remove the code which constant-folded ptrtoint(inttoptr(x)+c) to
getelementptr. Despite only doing so in the case where x is a known
array object and c can be converted to an index within range, this
could still be invalid if c is actually the address of an object
allocated outside of LLVM. Also, SCEVExpander, the original motivation
for this code, has since been improved to avoid inttoptr+ptroint in
more cases.

Analysis Opportunities:

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

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.
