Arnold Schwaighofer 3036182e99 BasicAA: Use reachabilty instead of dominance for checking value equality in phi
cycles

This allows the value equality check to work even if we don't have a dominator
tree. Also add some more comments.

I was worried about compile time impacts and did not implement reachability but
used the dominance check in the initial patch. The trade-off was that the
dominator tree was required.
The llvm utility function isPotentiallyReachable cuts off the recursive search
after 32 visits. Testing did not show any compile time regressions showing my
worries unjustfied.

No compile time or performance regressions at O3 -flto -mavx on test-suite +
externals.

Addresses review comments from r198290.

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.

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

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))
