Widen the IV to the widest available and legal integer type, which makes this
transformations always safe so that we can skip overflow checks.
Motivation is to let this pass trigger on 64-bit targets too, and this is the
last patch in a serie to achieve this: D90402 moves pass LoopFlatten to just
before IndVarSimplify so that IVs are not already widened, D90421 factors out
widening from IndVarSimplify into Utils/SimplifyIndVar so that we can also use
it in LoopFlatten.

This converts LoopFlatten from a LoopPass to a FunctionPass so that we don't
run into problems of a loop pass deleting a (inner)loop.

This is a simple pass that flattens nested loops. The intention is to optimise
loop nests like this, which together access an array linearly:
for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
for (int j = 0; j < M; ++j)
f(A[i*M+j]);
into one loop:
for (int i = 0; i < (N*M); ++i)
f(A[i]);
It can also flatten loops where the induction variables are not used in the
loop. This can help with codesize and runtime, especially on simple cpus
without advanced branch prediction.
This is only worth flattening if the induction variables are only used in an
expression like i*M+j. If they had any other uses, we would have to insert a
div/mod to reconstruct the original values, so this wouldn't be profitable.
This partially fixes PR40581 as this pass triggers on one of the two cases. I
will follow up on this to learn LoopFlatten a few more (small) tricks. Please
note that LoopFlatten is not yet enabled by default.
