Chris Lattner 7aab2799ae Enhance memdep to return clobber relation between noalias loads when ...

an earlier load could be widened to encompass a later load.  For example,
if we see:

  X = load i8* P, align 4
  Y = load i8* (P+3), align 1

and we have a 32-bit native integer type, we can widen the former load
to i32 which then makes the second load redundant.  GVN can't actually
do anything with this load/load relation yet, so this isn't testable, but 
it is the next step to resolving PR6627, and a fairly general class of 
"merge neighboring loads" missed optimizations.
