Patch by Michele Scandale!
Rewrite of the functions used to compute the backedge taken count of a
loop on LT and GT comparisons.
I decided to split the handling of LT and GT cases becasue the trick
"a > b == -a < -b" in some cases prevents the trip count computation
due to the multiplication by -1 on the two operands of the
comparison. This issue comes from the conservative computation of
value range of SCEVs: taking the negative SCEV of an expression that
have a small positive range (e.g. [0,31]), we would have a SCEV with a
fullset as value range.
Indeed, in the new rewritten function I tried to better handle the
maximum backedge taken count computation when MAX/MIN expression are
used to handle the cases where no entry guard is found.
Some test have been modified in order to check the new value correctly
(I manually check them and reasoning on possible overflow the new
values seem correct).
I finally added a new test case related to the multiplication by -1
issue on GT comparisons.

IVs.
Indvars previously chose randomly between congruent IVs. Now it will
bias the decision toward IVs that SCEVExpander likes to create. This
was not done to fix any problem, it's just a welcome side effect of
factoring code.
