This is a simple AliasAnalysis implementation which works by making
ScalarEvolution queries. ScalarEvolution has a more complete understanding
of arithmetic than BasicAA's collection of ad-hoc checks, so it handles
some cases that BasicAA misses, for example p[i] and p[i+1] within the
same iteration of a loop.
This is currently experimental. It may be that the main use for this pass
will be to help find cases where BasicAA can be profitably extended, or
to help in the development of the overall AliasAnalysis infrastructure,
however it's also possible that it could grow up to become a directly
useful pass.

(x pred y) with more thorough code that does more complete canonicalization
before resorting to range checks. This helps it find more cases where
the canonicalized expressions match.

blocks, and also exit blocks with multiple conditions (combined
with (bitwise) ands and ors). It's often infeasible to compute an
exact trip count in such cases, but a useful upper bound can often
be found.

integer and floating-point opcodes, introducing
FAdd, FSub, and FMul.
For now, the AsmParser, BitcodeReader, and IRBuilder all preserve
backwards compatability, and the Core LLVM APIs preserve backwards
compatibility for IR producers. Most front-ends won't need to change
immediately.
This implements the first step of the plan outlined here:

artificial "ptrtoint", as it tends to clutter up complicated
expressions. The cast operators now print both source and
destination types, which is usually sufficient.

compute an upper-bound value for the trip count, in addition to
the actual trip count. Use this to allow getZeroExtendExpr and
getSignExtendExpr to fold casts in more cases.
This may eventually morph into a more general value-range
analysis capability; there are certainly plenty of places where
more complete value-range information would allow more folding.

crosses from negative to positive, but is still safe if the trip
count is within range.

type to truncate to should be the number of bits of the value that are
preserved, not the number that are clobbered with sign-extension.
This fixes regressions in ldecod.

to more accurately describe what it does. Expand its doxygen comment
to describe what the backedge-taken count is and how it differs
from the actual iteration count of the loop. Adjust names and
comments in associated code accordingly.

Use it to safely handle less-than-or-equals-to exit conditions in loops. These
also occur when the loop exit branch is exit on true because SCEV inverses the
icmp predicate.
Use it again to handle non-zero strides, but only with an unsigned comparison
in the exit condition.

If this patch causes a performance regression for anyone, please let me know,
and it can be fixed in a different way with much more effort.
