This obviously helps a lot if the division would be turned into a libcall
(think i64 udiv on i386), but div is also one of the few remaining instructions
on modern CPUs that become more expensive when the bitwidth gets bigger.
This also helps register pressure on i386 when dividing chars, divb needs
two 8-bit parts of a 16 bit register as input where divl uses two registers.
int foo(unsigned char a) { return a/10; }
int bar(unsigned char a, unsigned char b) { return a/b; }
compiles into (x86_64)
_foo:
imull $205, %edi, %eax
shrl $11, %eax
ret
_bar:
movzbl %dil, %eax
divb %sil, %al
movzbl %al, %eax
ret

(eliminating some extends) if the new type of the
computation is legal or if both the source and dest
are illegal. This prevents instcombine from changing big
chains of computation into i64 on 32-bit targets for
example.

input filename so that opt doesn't print the input filename in the
output so that grep lines in the tests don't unintentionally match
strings in the input filename.
