Dan Gohman 0f5efe5625 Remove SCEVAllocSizeExpr and SCEVFieldOffsetExpr, and in their place
use plain SCEVUnknowns with ConstantExpr::getSizeOf and
ConstantExpr::getOffsetOf constants. This eliminates a bunch of
special-case code.

Also add code for pattern-matching these expressions, for clients that
want to recognize them.

Move ScalarEvolution's logic for expanding array and vector sizeof
expressions into an element count times the element size, to expose
the multiplication to subsequent folding, into the regular constant
folder.

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

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.
