Max Kazantsev db3a9e0cfe [SCEV] Make getPostIncExpr guaranteed to return AddRec
The current implementation of `getPostIncExpr` invokes `getAddExpr` for two recurrencies
and expects that it always returns it a recurrency. But this is not guaranteed to happen if we
have reached max recursion depth or refused to make SCEV simplification for other reasons.

This patch changes its implementation so that now it always returns SCEVAddRec without
relying on `getAddExpr`.

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))
