David Green 4511f3fa86 [SCEV] Ensure that isHighCostExpansion takes into account what is being divided
A SCEV is not low-cost just because you can divide it by a power of 2. We need to also
check what we are dividing to make sure it too is not a high-code expansion. This helps
to not expand the exit value of certain loops, helping not to bloat the code.

The change in no-iv-rewrite.ll is reverting back to what it was testing before rL194116,
and looks a lot like the other tests in replace-loop-exit-folds.ll.

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

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))
