In some cases, it seems like we can get rid of unnecessary s/umins by
using information from the loop guards (unless I am missing something).
One place where this seems to be helpful in practice is when computing
loop trip counts. This patch just changes howManyGreaterThans for now.
Note that this requires a loop for which we can check 'is guarded'.
On SPEC2000/SPEC2006/MultiSource, there are some notable changes for
some programs in the number of loops unrolled and trip counts computed.

This is split off from D80316, slightly tightening the definition of overloaded
hardwareloop intrinsic llvm.loop.decrement.reg specifying that both operands
its result have the same type.
Introduce llvm.test.set.loop.iterations which sets the loop counter
and also produces an i1 after testing that the count is not zero.

Patch which introduces a target-independent framework for generating
hardware loops at the IR level. Most of the code has been taken from
PowerPC CTRLoops and PowerPC has been ported over to use this generic
pass. The target dependent parts have been moved into
TargetTransformInfo, via isHardwareLoopProfitable, with
HardwareLoopInfo introduced to transfer information from the backend.
Three generic intrinsics have been introduced:
- void @llvm.set_loop_iterations
Takes as a single operand, the number of iterations to be executed.
- i1 @llvm.loop_decrement(anyint)
Takes the maximum number of elements processed in an iteration of
the loop body and subtracts this from the total count. Returns
false when the loop should exit.
- anyint @llvm.loop_decrement_reg(anyint, anyint)
Takes the number of elements remaining to be processed as well as
the maximum numbe of elements processed in an iteration of the loop
body. Returns the updated number of elements remaining.
