[BasicAA] Make better use of zext and sign information

Two related things:

 1. Fixes a bug when calculating the offset in GetLinearExpression. The code
    previously used zext to extend the offset, so negative offsets were converted
    to large positive ones.

 2. Enhance aliasGEP to deduce that, if the difference between two GEP
    allocations is positive and all the variables that govern the offset are also
    positive (i.e. the offset is strictly after the higher base pointer), then
    locations that fit in the gap between the two base pointers are NoAlias.

Patch by Nick White!
