Sebastian Pop 5013d1d5e4 avoid type mismatch when building SCEVs
This is a corner case I have stumbled upon when dealing with ARM64 type
conversions. I was not able to extract a testcase for the community codebase to
fail on. The patch conservatively discards a division that would have ended up
in an ICE due to a type mismatch when building a multiply expression. I have
also added code to a place that builds add expressions and in which we should be
careful not to pass in operands of different types.

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))
