Adam Nemet c4866d29dd [LAA] Try to prove non-wrapping of pointers if SCEV cannot
Summary:
Scalar evolution does not propagate the non-wrapping flags to values
that are derived from a non-wrapping induction variable because
the non-wrapping property could be flow-sensitive.

This change is a first attempt to establish the non-wrapping property in
some simple cases.  The main idea is to look through the operations
defining the pointer.  As long as we arrive to a non-wrapping AddRec via
a small chain of non-wrapping instruction, the pointer should not wrap
either.

I believe that this essentially is what Andy described in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.cvs/220731 as the way
forward.
