Andrea Di Biagio e46783d5b7 [CodeGenPrepare] Improved logic to speculate calls to cttz/ctlz.
This patch improves the logic added at revision 224899 (see review D6728) that
teaches the backend when it is profitable to speculate calls to cttz/ctlz.

The original algorithm conservatively avoided speculating more than one
instruction from a basic block in a control flow grap modelling an if-statement.
In particular, the only allowed instruction (excluding the terminator) was a
call to cttz/ctlz. However, there are cases where we could be less conservative
and still be able to speculate a call to cttz/ctlz.

With this patch, CodeGenPrepare now tries to speculate a cttz/ctlz if the
result is zero extended/truncated in the same basic block, and the zext/trunc
instruction is "free" for the target.

Added new test cases to CodeGen/X86/cttz-ctlz.ll
