Canonicalize GEP of GEP by swapping GEP with some suffix constant indices to the back (and GEP with all constant indices to the back of that), this allows more constant index GEP merging to happen. Exceptions are: If swapping violates use-def relations, or anti-optimizes LICM
For constant indexed GEP of GEP, if they cannot be merged directly, they will be casted to i8* and merged.

We call tail-call-elim near the beginning of the pipeline,
but that is too early to annotate calls that get added later.
In the motivating case from issue #47852, the missing 'tail'
on memset leads to sub-optimal codegen.
I experimented with removing the early instance of
tail-call-elim instead of just adding another pass, but that
appears to be slightly worse for compile-time:
+0.15% vs. +0.08% time.
"tailcall" shows adding the pass; "tailcall2" shows moving
the pass to later, then adding the original early pass back
(so 1596886802 is functionally equivalent to 180b0439dc ):

Note that there was an effort to split the tail call functionality
into 2 passes - that could help reduce compile-time if we find
that this change costs more in compile-time than expected based
on the preliminary testing:

After replacing a loop phi with the preheader value, it's usually
possible to simplify some of the using instructions, so do that as
part of replaceLoopPHINodesWithPreheaderValues().
Doing this as part of IndVars is valuable, because it may make GEPs
in the loop have constant offsets and allow the following SROA run
to succeed (as demonstrated in the PhaseOrdering test).
