Michael Zolotukhin 3da8e45675 [InstSimplify] Add SimplifyFPBinOp function.
It is a variation of SimplifyBinOp, but it takes into account
FastMathFlags.

It is needed in inliner and loop-unroller to accurately predict the
transformation's outcome (previously we dropped the flags and were too
conservative in some cases).

Example:
float foo(float *a, float b) {
 float r;
 if (a[1] * b)
   r = /* a lot of expensive computations */;
 else
   r = 1;
 return r;
}
float boo(float *a) {
 return foo(a, 0.0);
}

Without this patch, we don't inline 'foo' into 'boo'.

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

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))
