Evan Cheng 681a33e26d Another BasicAA fix. If a value does not alias a GEP's base pointer, then it
cannot alias the GEP. GEP pointer alias rule states this clearly:
A pointer value formed from a getelementptr instruction is associated with the
addresses associated with the first operand of the getelementptr.

Analysis Opportunities:

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

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.
