The delinearization is needed only to remove the non linearity induced by
expressions involving multiplications of parameters and induction variables.
There is no problem in dealing with constant times parameters, or constant times
an induction variable.
For this reason, the current patch discards all constant terms and multipliers
before running the delinearization algorithm on the terms. The only thing
remaining in the term expressions are parameters and multiply expressions of
parameters: these simplified term expressions are passed to the array shape
recognizer that will not recognize constant dimensions anymore: these will be
recognized as different strides in parametric subscripts.
The only important special case of a constant dimension is the size of elements.
Instead of relying on the delinearization to infer the size of an element,
compute the element size from the base address type. This is a much more precise
way of computing the element size than before, as we would have mixed together
the size of an element with the strides of the innermost dimension.

Tested by comparing make check VERBOSE=1 before and after to make sure
no tests are missed. (VERBOSE=1 prints the list of tests.)
Only one test :( remains where .cpp is required:

To compute the dimensions of the array in a unique way, we split the
delinearization analysis in three steps:
- find parametric terms in all memory access functions
- compute the array dimensions from the set of terms
- compute the delinearized access functions for each dimension
The first step is executed on all the memory access functions such that we
gather all the patterns in which an array is accessed. The second step reduces
all this information in a unique description of the sizes of the array. The
third step is delinearizing each memory access function following the common
description of the shape of the array computed in step 2.
This rewrite of the delinearization pass also solves a problem we had with the
previous implementation: because the previous algorithm was by induction on the
structure of the SCEV, it would not correctly recognize the shape of the array
when the memory access was not following the nesting of the loops: for example,
see polly/test/ScopInfo/multidim_only_ivs_3d_reverse.ll
; void foo(long n, long m, long o, double A[n][m][o]) {
;
; for (long i = 0; i < n; i++)
; for (long j = 0; j < m; j++)
; for (long k = 0; k < o; k++)
; A[i][k][j] = 1.0;
Starting with this patch we no longer delinearize access functions that do not
contain parameters, for example in test/Analysis/DependenceAnalysis/GCD.ll
;; for (long int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
;; for (long int j = 0; j < 100; j++) {
;; A[2*i - 4*j] = i;
;; *B++ = A[6*i + 8*j];
these accesses will not be delinearized as the upper bound of the loops are
constants, and their access functions do not contain SCEVUnknown parameters.
