Previously, irreducible backedges were ignored. With this commit, irreducible SCCs are discovered on the fly, and modelled as loops with multiple headers. This approximation specifies the headers of irreducible sub-SCCs as its entry blocks and all nodes that are targets of a backedge within it (excluding backedges within true sub-loops). Block frequency calculations act as if we insert a new block that intercepts all the edges to the headers. All backedges and entries to the irreducible SCC point to this imaginary block. This imaginary block has an edge (with even probability) to each header block. The result is now reasonable enough that I've added a number of testcases for irreducible control flow. I've outlined in `BlockFrequencyInfoImpl.h` ways to improve the approximation. <rdar://problem/14292693> git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@207286 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

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))
