Sanjoy Das cd5029d001 [SCEV] Unify getUnsignedRange and getSignedRange
Summary:
This removes some duplicated code, and also helps optimization: e.g. in
the test case added, `%idx ULT 128` in `@x` is not currently optimized
to `true` by `-indvars` but will be, after this change.

The only functional change in ths commit is that for add recurrences,
ScalarEvolution::getRange will be more aggressive -- computing the
unsigned (resp. signed) range for a SCEVAddRecExpr will now look at the
NSW (resp. NUW) bits and check for signed (resp. unsigned) overflow.
This can be a strict improvement in some cases (such as the attached
test case), and should be no worse in other cases.

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))
