Nikita Popov 30001af84e [BasicAA] Ignore CanBeFreed in minimal extent reasoning
When determining NoAlias based on object size and dereferenceability
information, we can ignore frees for the same reason we can ignore
possible null pointers (if null is not a valid pointer): Actually
accessing the null pointer / freed pointer would be immediate UB,
and AA results are only valid under the assumption of an access.

This addresses a minor regression from D110745.

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))
