If LowerGEP is enabled, it can lower a GEP with multiple indices into GEPs with a single index
or arithmetic operations. Lowering GEPs can always extract structure indices. Lowering GEPs can
also give use more optimization opportunities. It can benefit passes like CSE, LICM and CGP.

The dividend in "signed % unsigned" is treated as unsigned instead of signed,
causing unexpected behavior such as -64 % (uint64_t)24 == 0.

The two operands of the new OR expression should be NextInChain and TheOther
instead of the two original operands.
Added a regression test in split-gep.ll.
Hao Liu reported this bug, and provded the test case and an initial patch.

Summary:
Converting outermost zext(a) to sext(a) causes worse code when the
computation of zext(a) could be reused. For example, after converting
... = array[zext(a)]
... = array[zext(a) + 1]
to
... = array[sext(a)]
... = array[zext(a) + 1],
the program computes sext(a), which is actually unnecessary. I added one
test in split-gep-and-gvn.ll to illustrate this scenario.
Also, with r211281 and r211084, we annotate more "nuw" tags to
computation involving CUDA intrinsics such as threadIdx.x. These
annotations help with splitting GEP a lot, rendering the benefit we get
from this reverted optimization only marginal.

For each array index that is in the form of zext(a), convert it to sext(a)
if we can prove zext(a) <= max signed value of typeof(a). The conversion
helps to split zext(x + y) into sext(x) + sext(y).

zext(a + b) != zext(a) + zext(b) even if a + b >= 0 && b >= 0.
e.g., a = i4 0b1111, b = i4 0b0001
zext a + b to i8 = zext 0b0000 to i8 = 0b00000000
(zext a to i8) + (zext b to i8) = 0b00001111 + 0b00000001 = 0b00010000

Most issues are on mishandling s/zext.
Fixes:
1. When rebuilding new indices, s/zext should be distributed to
sub-expressions. e.g., sext(a +nsw (b +nsw 5)) = sext(a) + sext(b) + 5 but not
sext(a + b) + 5. This also affects the logic of recursively looking for a
constant offset, we need to include s/zext into the context of the searching.
2. Function find should return the bitwidth of the constant offset instead of
always sign-extending it to i64.
3. Stop shortcutting zext'ed GEP indices. LLVM conceptually sign-extends GEP
indices to pointer-size before computing the address. Therefore, gep base,
zext(a + b) != gep base, a + b
Improvements:
1. Add an optimization for splitting sext(a + b): if a + b is proven
non-negative (e.g., used as an index of an inbound GEP) and one of a, b is
non-negative, sext(a + b) = sext(a) + sext(b)
2. Function Distributable checks whether both sext and zext can be distributed
to operands of a binary operator. This helps us split zext(sext(a + b)) to
zext(sext(a) + zext(sext(b)) when a + b does not signed or unsigned overflow.
Refactoring:
Merge some common logic of handling add/sub/or in find.
Testing:
Add many tests in split-gep.ll and split-gep-and-gvn.ll to verify the changes
we made.

This is an enhancement to SeparateConstOffsetFromGEP. With this patch, we can
extract a constant offset from "s/zext and/or/xor A, B".
Added a new test @ext_or to verify this enhancement.
Refactoring the code, I also extracted some common logic to function
Distributable.

Fixed a TODO in r207783.
Add the extracted constant offset using GEP instead of ugly
ptrtoint+add+inttoptr. Using GEP simplifies future optimizations and makes IR
easier to understand.
Updated all affected tests, and added a new test in split-gep.ll to cover a
corner case where emitting uglygep is necessary.

This optimization merges the common part of a group of GEPs, so we can compute
each pointer address by adding a simple offset to the common part.
The optimization is currently only enabled for the NVPTX backend, where it has
a large payoff on some benchmarks.
