Bob Wilson 9d2ed8e632 Add an argument to PHITranslateValue to specify the DominatorTree. If this
argument is non-null, pass it along to PHITranslateSubExpr so that it can
prefer using existing values that dominate the PredBB, instead of just
blindly picking the first equivalent value that it finds on a uselist.
Also when the DominatorTree is specified, have PHITranslateValue filter
out any result that does not dominate the PredBB.  This is basically just
refactoring the check that used to be in GetAvailablePHITranslatedSubExpr
and also in GVN.

Despite my initial expectations, this change does not affect the results
of GVN for any testcases that I could find, but it should help compile time.
Before this change, if PHITranslateSubExpr picked a value that does not
dominate, PHITranslateWithInsertion would then insert a new value, which GVN
would later determine to be redundant and would replace.  By picking a good
value to begin with, we save GVN the extra work of inserting and then
replacing a new value.

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.
