Benjamin Kramer e749325463 [CallSite] Make construction from Value* (or Instruction*) explicit.
CallSite roughly behaves as a common base CallInst and InvokeInst. Bring
the behavior closer to that model by making upcasts explicit. Downcasts
remain implicit and work as before.

Following dyn_cast as a mental model checking whether a Value *V isa
CallSite now looks like this: 
  if (auto CS = CallSite(V)) // think dyn_cast
instead of:
  if (CallSite CS = V)

This is an extra token but I think it is slightly clearer. Making the
ctor explicit has the advantage of not accidentally creating nullptr
CallSites, e.g. when you pass a Value * to a function taking a CallSite
argument.

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))
