Chandler Carruth 7362ac7f8c Fix a crash on valid (if UB) bitcode that is produced for some global
constants in C++11 mode. I have no idea why it required such particular
circumstances to get here, the code seems clearly to rely upon unchecked
assumptions.

Specifically, when we decide to form an index into a struct type, we may
have gone through (at least one) zero-length array indexing round, which
would have left the offset un-adjusted, and thus not necessarily valid
for use when indexing the struct type.

This is just an canonicalization step, so the correct thing is to refuse
to canonicalize nonsensical GEPs of this form. Implemented, and test
case added.

Fixes PR12642. Pair debugged and coded with Richard Smith. =] I credit
him with most of the debugging, and preventing me from writing the wrong
code.

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))
