Manman Ren 0b3d39235a TBAA: add isTBAAVtableAccess to MDNode so clients can call the function
instead of having its own implementation.

The implementation of isTBAAVtableAccess is in TypeBasedAliasAnalysis.cpp
since it is related to the format of TBAA metadata.

The path for struct-path tbaa will be exercised by
test/Instrumentation/ThreadSanitizer/read_from_global.ll, vptr_read.ll, and
vptr_update.ll when struct-path tbaa is on by default.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

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))
