Summary:
Loop idiom recognize tries to convert loops like
```
int foo(int x) {
int cnt = 0;
while (x) {
x >>= 1;
++cnt;
}
return cnt;
}
```
into calls to ctlz, but if x is initially negative this loop should be infinite.
It happens that the cases that motivated this change have an absolute value of x before the loop. So this patch restricts the transform to cases where we know x is positive. Note: We are relying on the absolute value of INT_MIN to be undefined so we can assume that the result is always positive.
