Chris Lattner 992efb0378 Step #2 to improve trip count analysis for loops like this:
void f(int* begin, int* end) { std::fill(begin, end, 0); }

which turns into a != exit expression where one pointer is
strided and (thanks to step #1) known to not overflow, and 
the other is loop invariant.

The observation here is that, though the IV is strided by
4 in this case, that the IV *has* to become equal to the
end value.  It cannot "miss" the end value by stepping over
it, because if it did, the strided IV expression would
eventually wrap around.

Handle this by turning A != B into "A-B != 0" where the A-B
part is known to be NUW.

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

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))
