Also update existing test cases which appear to be generated by it and
weren't modified (other than addition of the header) by rerunning it.

Currently ( D10321, http://reviews.llvm.org/rL239486 ), we can use the machine combiner pass
to reassociate the following sequence to reduce the critical path:
A = ? op ?
B = A op X
C = B op Y
-->
A = ? op ?
B = X op Y
C = A op B
'op' is currently limited to x86 AVX scalar FP adds (with fast-math on), but in theory, it could
be any associative math/logic op (see TODO in code comment).
This patch generalizes the pattern match to ignore the instruction that defines 'A'. So instead of
a sequence of 3 adds, we now only need to find 2 dependent adds and decide if it's worth
reassociating them.
This generalization has a compile-time cost because we can now match more instruction sequences
and we rely more heavily on the machine combiner to discard sequences where reassociation doesn't
improve the critical path.
For example, in the new test case:
A = M div N
B = A add X
C = B add Y
We'll match 2 reassociation patterns, but this transform doesn't reduce the critical path:
A = M div N
B = A add Y
C = B add X
We need the combiner to reject that pattern but select this:
A = M div N
B = X add Y
C = B add A

This is a reimplementation of D9780 at the machine instruction level rather than the DAG.
Use the MachineCombiner pass to reassociate scalar single-precision AVX additions (just a
starting point; see the TODO comments) to increase ILP when it's safe to do so.
The code is closely based on the existing MachineCombiner optimization that is implemented
for AArch64.
This patch should not cause the kind of spilling tragedy that led to the reversion of r236031.

At the least it should be guarded by some kind of target hook.
It also introduced catastrophic compile time and code quality
regressions on some out of tree targets (test case still being
reduced/sanitized).
Sanjay agreed with reverting this patch until these issues can be
resolved.

This is a compromise: with this simple patch, we should always handle a chain of exactly 3
operations optimally, but we're not generating the optimal balanced binary tree for a longer
sequence.
In general, this transform will reduce the dependency chain for a sequence of instructions
using N operands from a worst case N-1 dependent operations to N/2 dependent operations.
The optimal balanced binary tree would reduce the chain to log2(N).
The trade-off for not dealing with longer sequences is: (1) we have less complexity in the
compiler, (2) we avoid unknown compile-time blowup calculating a balanced tree, and (3) we
don't need to worry about the increased register pressure required to parallelize longer
sequences. It also seems unlikely that we would ever encounter really long strings of
dependent ops like that in the wild, but I'm not sure how to verify that speculation.
FWIW, I see no perf difference for test-suite running on btver2 (x86-64) with -ffast-math
and this patch.
We can extend this patch to cover other associative operations such as fmul, fmax, fmin,
integer add, integer mul.
