Duncan Sands 32a43cc0fc Reapply commit 143028 with a fix: the problem was casting a ConstantExpr Mul
using BinaryOperator (which only works for instructions) when it should have
been a cast to OverflowingBinaryOperator (which also works for constants).
While there, correct a few other dubious looking uses of BinaryOperator.
Thanks to Chad Rosier for the testcase.  Original commit message:
My super-optimizer noticed that we weren't folding this expression to
true: (x *nsw x) sgt 0, where x = (y | 1).  This occurs in 464.h264ref.

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.

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

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))
