Duncan Sands cf80bc1d4a Factorize common code out of the InstructionSimplify shift logic. Add in
threading of shifts over selects and phis while there.  This fires here and
there in the testsuite, to not much effect.  For example when compiling spirit
it fires 5 times, during early-cse, resulting in 6 more cse simplifications,
and 3 more terminators being folded by jump threading, but the final bitcode
doesn't change in any interesting way: other optimizations would have caught
the opportunity anyway, only later.

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))
