Chris Lattner e19e4baf3b teach phi translation of GEPs to simplify geps like 'gep x, 0'.
This allows us to compile the example from PR5313 into:

LBB1_2:                                                     ## %bb
	incl	%ecx
	movb	%al, (%rsi)
	movslq	%ecx, %rax
	movb	(%rdi,%rax), %al
	testb	%al, %al
	jne	LBB1_2

instead of:

LBB1_2:                                                     ## %bb
	movslq	%eax, %rcx
	incl	%eax
	movb	(%rdi,%rcx), %cl
	movb	%cl, (%rsi)
	movslq	%eax, %rcx
	cmpb	$0, (%rdi,%rcx)
	jne	LBB1_2

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.
