Chandler Carruth c13c09106e [SCEV] Add some asserts to the recently improved trip count computation
routines and fix all of the bugs they expose.

I hit a test case that crashed even without these asserts due to passing
a non-exiting latch to the ExitingBlock parameter of the trip count
computation machinery. However, when I add the nice asserts, it turns
out we have plenty of coverage of these bugs, they just didn't manifest
in crashers.

The core problem seems to stem from an assumption that the latch *is*
the exiting block. While this is often true, and somewhat the "normal"
way to think about loops, it isn't necessarily true. The correct way to
call the trip count routines in a *generic* fashion (that is, without
a particular exit in mind) is to just use the loop's single exiting
block if it has one. The trip count can't be computed generically unless
it does. This works great for the loop vectorizer. The loop unroller
actually *wants* to select the latch when it has to chose between
multiple exits because for unrolling it is the latch trips that matter.
But if this is the desire, it needs to explicitly guard for non-exiting
latches and check for the generic trip count in that case.

I've added the asserts, and added convenience APIs for querying the trip
count generically that check for a single exit block. I've kept the APIs
consistent between computing trip count and trip multiples.

Thansk to Mark for the help debugging and tracking down the *right* fix
here!

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))
