Chandler Carruth 7c52c97a22 Rename the Region::block_iterator to Region::block_node_iterator, and
add a new Region::block_iterator which actually iterates over the basic
blocks of the region.

The old iterator, now call 'block_node_iterator' iterates over
RegionNodes which contain a single basic block. This works well with the
GraphTraits-based iterator design, however most users actually want an
iterator over the BasicBlocks inside these RegionNodes. Now the
'block_iterator' is a wrapper which exposes exactly this interface.
Internally it uses the block_node_iterator to walk all nodes which are
single basic blocks, but transparently unwraps the basic block to make
user code simpler.

While this patch is a bit of a wash, most of the updates are to internal
users, not external users of the RegionInfo. I have an accompanying
patch to Polly that is a strict simplification of every user of this
interface, and I'm working on a pass that also wants the same simplified
interface.

This patch alone should have no functional impact.

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

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))
