Chandler Carruth ccbf1e36d3 Switch llvm.cttz and llvm.ctlz to accept a second i1 parameter which
indicates whether the intrinsic has a defined result for a first
argument equal to zero. This will eventually allow these intrinsics to
accurately model the semantics of GCC's __builtin_ctz and __builtin_clz
and the X86 instructions (prior to AVX) which implement them.

This patch merely sets the stage by extending the signature of these
intrinsics and establishing auto-upgrade logic so that the old spelling
still works both in IR and in bitcode. The upgrade logic preserves the
existing (inefficient) semantics. This patch should not change any
behavior. CodeGen isn't updated because it can use the existing
semantics regardless of the flag's value.

Note that this will be followed by API updates to Clang and DragonEgg.

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

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))
