This is a resubmit of dd6bb367 (which was reverted due to stage2 build failures in 7c63aac), with the additional restriction added to the transform to only consider outer most loops.
As shown in the added test case, ensuring LCSSA is up to date when deleting an inner loop is tricky as we may actually need to remove blocks from any outer loops, thus changing the exit block set. For the moment, just avoid transforming this case. I plan to return to this case in a follow up patch and see if we can do better.
Original commit message follows...
The basic idea is that if SCEV can prove the backedge isn't taken, we can go ahead and get rid of the backedge (and thus the loop) while leaving the rest of the control in place. This nicely handles cases with dispatch between multiple exits and internal side effects.

Currently, LoopDeletion does skip loops that have sub-loops, but this
means we currently fail to remove some no-op loops.
One example are inner loops with live-out values. Those cannot be
removed by itself. But the containing loop may itself be a no-op and the
whole loop-nest can be deleted.
The legality checks do not seem to rely on analyzing inner-loops only
for correctness.
With LoopDeletion being a LoopPass, the change means that we now
unfortunately need to do some extra work in parent loops, by checking
some conditions we already checked. But there appears to be no
noticeable compile time impact:

This changes patch leads to ~10 more loops being deleted on
MultiSource, SPEC2000, SPEC2006 with -O3 & LTO
This patch is also required (together with a few others) to eliminate a
no-op loop in omnetpp as discussed on llvm-dev 'LoopDeletion / removal of
empty loops.' (http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-December/147462.html)
This change becomes relevant after removing potentially infinite loops
is made possible in 'must-progress' loops (D86844).
Note that I added a function call with side-effects to an outer loop in
`llvm/test/Transforms/LoopDeletion/update-scev.ll` to preserve the
original spirit of the test.

This reverts commit dd6bb367d1.
Multi-stage builders are showing an assertion failure w/LCSSA not being preserved on entry to IndVars. Reason isn't clear, reverting while investigating.

After D71539, we need to forget the loop before setting the incoming
values of phi nodes in exit blocks, because we are looking through those
phi nodes now and the SCEV expression could depend on the loop phi. If
we update the phi nodes before forgetting the loop, we miss those users
during invalidation.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

`Loop::makeLoopInvariant` can hoist instructions out of loops, so loop
dispositions for the loop it operated on may need to be cleared. We can
be smarter here (especially around how `forgetLoopDispositions` is
implemented), but let's be correct first.
Fixes PR27570.
