Nikita Popov cc91554ebb [SCEV] Delay strengthening of nowrap flags
Strengthening nowrap flags is relatively expensive. Make sure we
only do it if we're actually going to use the flags -- we don't
use them for many recursive invocations. Additionally, if we're
reusing an existing SCEV node, there's no point in trying to
strengthen the flags if we don't have any new baseline facts.

This change falls slightly short of being NFC, because the way
flags during add+addrec / mul+addrec folding are handled may be
more precise (as less operands are included in the calculation).

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

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))
