Sebastian Pop bf48d8ae51 do not use the GCD to compute the delinearization strides
We do not need to compute the GCD anymore after we removed the constant
coefficients from the terms: the terms are now all parametric expressions and
there is no need to recognize constant terms that divide only a subset of the
terms. We only rely on the size of the terms, i.e., the number of operands in
the multiply expressions, to sort the terms and recognize the parametric
dimensions.

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))
