The instcombine code which folds loads and stores into their use types can trip up if the use is a bitcast to a type which we can't directly load or store in the IR. In principle, such types shouldn't exist, but in practice they do today. This is a workaround to avoid a bug while we work towards the long term goal.

Original Commit Message
Extend load/store type canonicalization to handle unordered operations
Extend the type canonicalization logic to work for unordered atomic loads and stores. Note that while this change itself is fairly simple and low risk, there's a reasonable chance this will expose problems in the backends by suddenly generating IR they wouldn't have seen before. Anything of this nature will be an existing bug in the backend (you could write an atomic float load), but this will definitely change the frequency with which such cases are encountered. If you see problems, feel free to revert this change, but please make sure you collect a test case.
Note that the concern about lowering is now much less likely. PR27490 proved that we already *were* mucking with the types of ordered atomics and volatiles. As a result, this change doesn't introduce as much new behavior as originally thought.

This builds on 266999 which made FindAvailableValue do the right thing. Tests included show the newly enabled transforms and those which disabled either due to conservatism or correctness requirements.

This change adds a couple of test cases to make sure FindAvailableLoadedValue does the right thing. At the moment, the code added is dead, but separating it makes follow on changes far more obvious.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

...)) and (load (cast ...)): canonicalize toward the former.
Historically, we've tried to load using the type of the *pointer*, and
tried to match that type as closely as possible removing as many pointer
casts as we could and trading them for bitcasts of the loaded value.
This is deeply and fundamentally wrong.
Repeat after me: memory does not have a type! This was a hard lesson for
me to learn working on SROA.
There is only one thing that should actually drive the type used for
a pointer, and that is the type which we need to use to load from that
pointer. Matching up pointer types to the loaded value types is very
useful because it minimizes the physical size of the IR required for
no-op casts. Similarly, the only thing that should drive the type used
for a loaded value is *how that value is used*! Again, this minimizes
casts. And in fact, the *only* thing motivating types in any part of
LLVM's IR are the types used by the operations in the IR. We should
match them as closely as possible.
I've ended up removing some tests here as they were testing bugs or
behavior that is no longer present. Mostly though, this is just cleanup
to let the tests continue to function as intended.
The only fallout I've found so far from this change was SROA and I have
fixed it to not be impeded by the different type of load. If you find
more places where this change causes optimizations not to fire, those
too are likely bugs where we are assuming that the type of pointers is
"significant" for optimization purposes.
