Summary:
Replace a LEA instruction of the form 'lea (%esp), %ebx' --> 'mov %esp, %ebx'
MOV is preferable over LEA because usually there are more issue-slots available to execute MOVs than LEAs. Latest processors also support zero-latency MOVs.
Fixes pr29022.

The size savings are significant, and from what I can tell, both ICC and GCC do this.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))
