Duncan Sands 7c422ac216 Partially address a README by having functionattrs consider calls to
memcpy, memset and other intrinsics that only access their arguments
to be readnone if the intrinsic's arguments all point to local memory.
This improves the testcase in the README to readonly, but it could in
theory be made readnone, however this would involve more sophisticated
analysis that looks through the memcpy.

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

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.
