943ce55f39 Revert "Revert "Add Constant Hoisting Pass" (r200034)"
This reverts commit r200058 and adds the using directive for
ARMTargetTransformInfo to silence two g++ overload warnings.

503793e834 Revert "Add Constant Hoisting Pass" (r200034)
This commit caused -Woverloaded-virtual warnings. The two new
TargetTransformInfo::getIntImmCost functions were only added to the superclass,
and to the X86 subclass. The other targets were not updated, and the
warning highlighted this by pointing out that e.g. ARMTTI::getIntImmCost was
hiding the two new getIntImmCost variants.

We could pacify the warning by adding "using TargetTransformInfo::getIntImmCost"
to the various subclasses, or turning it off, but I suspect that it's wrong to
leave the functions unimplemnted in those targets. The default implementations
return TCC_Free, which I don't think is right e.g. for ARM.

96172cb4a4 Add Constant Hoisting Pass
Retry commit r200022 with a fix for the build bot errors. Constant expressions
have (unlike instructions) module scope use lists and therefore may have users
in different functions. The fix is to simply ignore these out-of-function uses.

fb282c68b7 Add Constant Hoisting Pass
This pass identifies expensive constants to hoist and coalesces them to
better prepare it for SelectionDAG-based code generation. This works around the
limitations of the basic-block-at-a-time approach.

First it scans all instructions for integer constants and calculates its
cost. If the constant can be folded into the instruction (the cost is
TCC_Free) or the cost is just a simple operation (TCC_BASIC), then we don't
consider it expensive and leave it alone. This is the default behavior and
the default implementation of getIntImmCost will always return TCC_Free.

If the cost is more than TCC_BASIC, then the integer constant can't be folded
into the instruction and it might be beneficial to hoist the constant.
Similar constants are coalesced to reduce register pressure and
materialization code.

When a constant is hoisted, it is also hidden behind a bitcast to force it to
be live-out of the basic block. Otherwise the constant would be just
duplicated and each basic block would have its own copy in the SelectionDAG.
The SelectionDAG recognizes such constants as opaque and doesn't perform
certain transformations on them, which would create a new expensive constant.

This optimization is only applied to integer constants in instructions and
simple (this means not nested) constant cast experessions. For example:
%0 = load i64* inttoptr (i64 big_constant to i64*)
