Chris Lattner 11c6bab704 add support for recursive phi translation and phi
translation of add with immediate.  This allows us
to optimize this function:

void test(int N, double* G) {
  long j;
  G[1] = 1;
    for (j = 1; j < N - 1; j++)
        G[j+1] = G[j] + G[j+1];
}

to only do one load every iteration of the loop.

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.
