Chandler Carruth a37512049c [PM] Port LoopInfo to the new pass manager, adding both a LoopAnalysis
pass and a LoopPrinterPass with the expected associated wiring.

I've added a RUN line to the only test case (!!!) we have that actually
prints loops. Everything seems to be working.

This is somewhat exciting as this is the first analysis using another
analysis to go in for the new pass manager. =D I also believe it is the
last analysis necessary for porting instcombine, but of course I may yet
discover more.

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))
