This (mostly) fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39771.
BDCE currently detects instructions that don't have any demanded bits
and replaces their uses with zero. However, if an instruction has
multiple uses, then some of the uses may be dead (have no demanded bits)
even though the instruction itself is still live. This patch extends
DemandedBits/BDCE to detect such uses and replace them with zero.
While this will not immediately render any instructions dead, it may
lead to simplifications (in the motivating case, by converting a rotate
into a simple shift), break dependencies, etc.
The implementation tries to strike a balance between analysis power and
complexity/memory usage. Originally I wanted to track demanded bits on
a per-use level, but ultimately we're only really interested in whether
a use is entirely dead or not. I'm using an extra set to track which uses
are dead. However, as initially all uses are dead, I'm not storing uses
those user is also dead. This case is checked separately instead.
The test case has a couple of cases that are not simplified yet. In
particular, we're only looking at uses of instructions right now. I think
it would make sense to also extend this to arguments. Furthermore
DemandedBits doesn't yet know some of the tricks that InstCombine does
for the demanded bits or bitwise or/and/xor in combination with known
bits information.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
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))
