This patch deduces `noundef` attributes for return values.
IIUC, a function returns `noundef` values iff all of its return values
are guaranteed not to be `undef` or `poison`.
Definition of `noundef` from LangRef:
```
noundef
This attribute applies to parameters and return values. If the value representation contains any
undefined or poison bits, the behavior is undefined. Note that this does not refer to padding
introduced by the type’s storage representation.

The motivation of this patch is to reduce the number of `freeze` insts
and enable more optimizations.
As far as I can tell, there's nothing in this code which actually
assumes the two predicates in (FoundLHS FoundPred FoundRHS) => (LHS Pred
RHS) are the same.
Noticed while investigating something else, this is purely an
oppurtunistic optimization while I'm looking at the code. Unfortunately,
this doesn't solve my original problem. :)
As usual, making it easier for an upcoming test delta to be seen.
Note that several of these are examples of extremely bad testing practice.
Checking internal debug output (for no real purpose), and checking the
result of a fully O2 + llc run instead of reducing the specific problematic
pass.
Kuniyuki Iwashima reported in [1] that llvm compiler may
convert a loop exit condition with "i < bound" to "i != bound", where
"i" is the loop index variable and "bound" is the upper bound.
In case that "bound" is not a constant, verifier will always have "i != bound"
true, which will cause verifier failure since to verifier this is
an infinite loop.
The fix is to avoid transforming "i < bound" to "i != bound".
In llvm, the transformation is done by IndVarSimplify pass.
The compiler checks loop condition cost (i = i + 1) and if the
cost is lower, it may transform "i < bound" to "i != bound".
This patch implemented getArithmeticInstrCost() in BPF TargetTransformInfo
class to return a higher cost for such an operation, which
will prevent the transformation for the test case
added in this patch.
