This is the last general step to allow more IR-level speculation with a safety harness in place in CodeGenPrepare.
The intent is to restore the behavior enabled by:
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL228826
but prevent bad performance such as:

Earlier patches in this sequence:
D12882 (disable SimplifyCFG speculation for expensive instructions)
D13297 (have CGP despeculate expensive ops)
D14630 (have CGP despeculate special versions of cttz/ctlz)
As shown in the test cases, we only have two instructions currently affected: ctz for some x86 and fdiv generally.
Allowing exactly one expensive instruction is a bit of a hack, but it lines up with what is currently implemented
in CGP. If we make the despeculation more general in CGP, we can make the speculation here more liberal.
A follow-up patch will adjust the cost for sqrt and possibly other typically expensive math intrinsics (currently
everything is cheap by default). GPU targets would likely want to override those expensive default costs (just as
they probably should already override the cost of div/rem) because just about any math is cheaper than control-flow
on those targets.

Now that SimplifyCFG uses TTI for the cost heuristic, we can teach BasicTTIImpl
how to query TLI in order to get a more accurate cost for truncates and
zero-extends.
Before this patch, the basic cost heuristic in TargetTransformInfoImplCRTPBase
would have conservatively returned a 'default' TCC_Basic for all zero-extends,
and TCC_Free for truncates on native types.
This patch improves the heuristic so that we query TLI (if available) to get
more accurate answers. If TLI is available, then methods 'isZExtFree' and
'isTruncateFree' can be used to check if a zext/trunc is free for the target.
Added more test cases to SimplifyCFG/X86/speculate-cttz-ctlz.ll.
With this change, SimplifyCFG is now able to speculate a 'cheap' cttz/ctlz
immediately followed by a free zext/trunc.

This patch is a follow-up of r228826 (see code-review: D7506).
Now that SimplifyCFG uses TargetTransformInfo for cost analysis, we
have to fix the cost heuristic for intrinsic calls to cttz/ctlz.
This patch defines method 'getIntrinsicCost' in BasicTTIImpl: now, BasicTTIImpl
queries TLI to check if a call to cttz/ctlz is cheap for the target.
Added test cases in Transforms/SimplifyCFG/X86 to verify that on x86,
SimplifyCFG only speculates a call to cttz/ctlz if it is cheap.
