dfukalov 6e967834b9 [AA] Cache (optionally) estimated PartialAlias offsets.
For the cases of two clobbering loads and one loaded object is fully contained
in the second `BasicAAResult::aliasGEP` returns just `PartialAlias` that
is actually more common case of partial overlap, it doesn't say anything about
actual overlapping sizes.

AA users such as GVN and DSE have no functionality to estimate aliasing of GEPs
with non-constant offsets. The change stores estimated relative offsets so they
can be used further.

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))
