Summary:
This patch allows us to predicate range checks that have a type narrower than
the latch check type. We leverage SCEV analysis to identify a truncate for the
latchLimit and latchStart.
There is also safety checks in place which requires the start and limit to be
known at compile time. We require this to make sure that the SCEV truncate expr
for the IV corresponding to the latch does not cause us to lose information
about the IV range.
Added tests show the loop predication over range checks that are of various
types and are narrower than the latch type.
This enhancement has been in our downstream tree for a while.

This is a follow up change for D37569.
Currently the transformation is limited to the case when:
* The loop has a single latch with the condition of the form: ++i <pred> latchLimit, where <pred> is u<, u<=, s<, or s<=.
* The step of the IV used in the latch condition is 1.
* The IV of the latch condition is the same as the post increment IV of the guard condition.
* The guard condition is of the form i u< guardLimit.
This patch enables the transform in the case when the latch is
latchStart + i <pred> latchLimit, where <pred> is u<, u<=, s<, or s<=.
And the guard is
guardStart + i u< guardLimit

This is a follow up for the loop predication change 313981 to support ule, sle latch predicates.

We've found a serious issue with the current implementation of loop predication.
The current implementation relies on SCEV and this turned out to be problematic.
To fix the problem we had to rework the pass substantially. We have had the
reworked implementation in our downstream tree for a while. This is the initial
patch of the series of changes to upstream the new implementation.
For now the transformation is limited to the following case:
* The loop has a single latch with either ult or slt icmp condition.
* The step of the IV used in the latch condition is 1.
* The IV of the latch condition is the same as the post increment IV of the guard condition.
* The guard condition is ult.
See the review or the LoopPredication.cpp header for the details about the
problem and the new implementation.

This is a fix for a loop predication bug which resulted in malformed IR generation.
Loop invariant side of the widened condition is not guaranteed to be available in the preheader as is, so we need to expand it as well. See added unsigned_loop_0_to_n_hoist_length test for example.

This patch introduces guard based loop predication optimization. The new LoopPredication pass tries to convert loop variant range checks to loop invariant by widening checks across loop iterations. For example, it will convert
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
guard(i < len);
...
}
to
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
guard(n - 1 < len);
...
}
After this transformation the condition of the guard is loop invariant, so loop-unswitch can later unswitch the loop by this condition which basically predicates the loop by the widened condition:
if (n - 1 < len)
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
...
}
else
deoptimize
This patch relies on an NFC change to make ScalarEvolution::isMonotonicPredicate public (revision 293062).
