George Burgess IV 5f0e76dca6 [CFLAA] Remove modref queries from CFLAA.
As it turns out, modref queries are broken with CFLAA. Specifically,
the data source we were using for determining modref behaviors
explicitly ignores operations on non-pointer values. So, it wouldn't
note e.g. storing an i32 to an i32* (or loading an i64 from an i64*).
It also ignores external function calls, rather than acting
conservatively for them.

(N.B. These operations, where necessary, *are* tracked by CFLAA; we just
use a different mechanism to do so. Said mechanism is relatively
imprecise, so it's unlikely that we can provide reasonably good modref
answers with it as implemented.)

Patch by Jia Chen.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
