Chandler Carruth ba94204e94 Teach the inline cost analysis about calls that can be simplified and
how to propagate constants through insert and extract value
instructions.

With the recent improvements to instsimplify, this allows inline cost
analysis to constant fold through intrinsic functions, including notably
the with.overflow intrinsic math routines which often show up inside of
STL abstractions. This is yet another piece in the puzzle of breaking
down the code for:

  void f() {
    std::vector<int> v;
    v.push_back(1);
  }

But it still isn't enough. There are a pile of bugs in inline cost still
blocking this.

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))
