The library call simplifier folds memcmp calls with all constant arguments
to a constant. For example:
memcmp("foo", "foo", 3) -> 0
memcmp("hel", "foo", 3) -> 1
memcmp("foo", "hel", 3) -> -1
The folding is implemented in terms of the system memcmp that LLVM gets
linked with. It currently just blindly uses the value returned from
the system memcmp as the folded constant.
This patch normalizes the values returned from the system memcmp to
(-1, 0, 1) so that we get consistent results across multiple platforms.
The test cases were adjusted accordingly.

Transforms/InstCombine/memcmp-1.ll has a test case that looks like:
@foo = constant [4 x i8] c"foo\00"
@hel = constant [4 x i8] c"hel\00"
...
%mem1 = getelementptr [4 x i8]* @hel, i32 0, i32 0
%mem2 = getelementptr [4 x i8]* @foo, i32 0, i32 0
%ret = call i32 @memcmp(i8* %mem1, i8* %mem2, i32 3)
ret i32 %ret
; CHECK: ret i32 2
The folded return value (2 above) is computed using the system memcmp
that the compiler is linked with. This can return different values on
different systems. The test was originally written on an OS X 10.7.5
x86-64 box and passed. However, it failed on one of the x86-64 FreeBSD
buildbots because the system memcpy on that machine returned a different
value (1 instead of 2).
I fixed the test by checking the folding constants with regexes.
