constant hoisting. It not only takes into account the number of uses and the
cost of expressions in which constants appear, but now also the resulting
integer range of the offsets. Thus, the algorithm maximizes the number of uses
within an integer range that will enable more efficient code generation. On
ARM, for example, this will enable code size optimisations because less
negative offsets will be created. Negative offsets/immediates are not supported
by Thumb1 thus preventing more compact instruction encoding.

Summary:
This fixes bug: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28282
Currently the cost model of constant hoisting checks the bit width of the data type of the constants.
However, the actual immediate value is small enough and not need to be hoisted.
This patch checks for the actual bit width needed for the constant.

Divisions by a constant can be converted into multiplies which are usually
cheaper, but this isn't possible if the constant gets separated (particularly
in loops). Fix this by telling ConstantHoisting that the immediate in a DIV is
cheap.
I considered making the check generic, but neither AArch64 (strangely) nor x86
showed any benefit on the tests I had.

At some point, ARM stopped getting any benefit from ConstantHoisting because
the pass called a different variant of getIntImmCost. Reimplementing the
correct variant revealed some problems, however:
+ ConstantHoisting was modifying switch statements. This is simply invalid,
the cases must remain integer constants no matter the notional cost.
+ ConstantHoisting was mangling alloca instructions in the entry block. These
should be handled by FrameLowering, so constants actually have a cost of 0.
Worse, the resulting bitcasts meant they became dynamic allocas.
