Dan Gohman a10756ee65 Re-implement the main strength-reduction portion of LoopStrengthReduction.
This new version is much more aggressive about doing "full" reduction in
cases where it reduces register pressure, and also more aggressive about
rewriting induction variables to count down (or up) to zero when doing so
reduces register pressure.

It currently uses fairly simplistic algorithms for finding reuse
opportunities, but it introduces a new framework allows it to combine
multiple strategies at once to form hybrid solutions, instead of doing
all full-reduction or all base+index.

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

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.
