Chris Lattner cc3d0eb483 Teach memdep to phi translate bitcasts. This allows us to compile
the example in GCC PR16799 to:

LBB1_2:                                                     ## %bb1
	movl	%eax, %eax
	subq	%rax, %rdi
	movq	%rdi, (%rcx)
	movl	(%rdi), %eax
	testl	%eax, %eax
	je	LBB1_2

instead of:

LBB1_2:                                                     ## %bb1
	movl	(%rdi), %ecx
	subq	%rcx, %rdi
	movq	%rdi, (%rax)
	cmpl	$0, (%rdi)
	je	LBB1_2

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

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.
