Tobias Grosser 1eeedf4829 [IslNodeBuilder] Relax complexity check in invariant loads and run it early
When performing invariant load hoisting we check that invariant load expressions
are not too complex. Up to this commit, we performed this check by counting the
sum of dimensions in the access range as a very simple heuristic. This heuristic
is a little too conservative, as it prevents hoisting for any scops with a
very large number of parameters. Hence, we update the heuristic to only count
existentially quantified dimensions and set dimensions. We expect this to still
detect the problematic expressions in h264 because of which this check was
originally introduced.

For some unknown reason, this complexity check was originally committed in
IslNodeBuilder. It really belongs in ScopInfo, as there is no point in
optimizing a program which we could have known earlier cannot be code generated.
The benefit of running the check early is that we can avoid to even hoist checks
that are expensive to code generate as invariant loads. This can be seen in
the changed tests, where we now indeed detect the scop, but just not invariant
load hoist the complicated access.

We also improve the formatting of the code, document it, and use isl++ to
simplify expressions.

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM
-----------------------------------------
http://polly.llvm.org/

Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and
transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract
representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general
way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the
optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant
propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for
cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive
vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
