Nikita Popov f715eda604 [LVI] Cleanup/unify cache access
This patch combines the "has" and "get" parts of the cache access.
getCachedValueInfo() now both sets the BBLV return argument, and
returns whether the value was found.

Additionally, the management of the work stack is now integrated
into getBlockValue(). If the value is not cached yet, we try to
push to the stack (and return false, indicating that we need to
solve first), or return overdefined in case of a cycle.

These changes a) avoid a duplicate cache lookup for has & get and
b) ensure that the logic is uniform everywhere. For this reason
this change is also not quite NFC, because previously overdefined
values from the cache, and overdefined values from a cycle received
different treatment when it came to assumption intersection.

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

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))
