to find opportunities for store-to-load forwarding or load CSE,
in the same way that visitStore scans back to do DSE. Also, define
a new helper function for testing whether the addresses of two
memory accesses are known to have the same value, and use it in
both visitStore and visitLoad.
These two changes allow instcombine to eliminate loads in code
produced by front-ends that frequently emit obviously redundant
addressing for memory references.

shifting and masking inside a bswap expr. This allows it to handle
the cases from PR2842, which involve the intermediate 'or'
expressions being shifted, not just the input value.

pointer bitcasts and GEP's", and centralize the
logic in Value::getUnderlyingObject. The
difference with stripPointerCasts is that
stripPointerCasts only strips GEPs if all
indices are zero, while getUnderlyingObject
strips GEPs no matter what the indices are.

- return attributes - inreg, zext and sext
- parameter attributes
- function attributes - nounwind, readonly, readnone, noreturn
Return attributes use 0 as the index.
Function attributes use ~0U as the index.
This patch requires corresponding changes in llvm-gcc and clang.

This sets the stage
- to implement function notes as function attributes and
- to distinguish between function attributes and return value attributes.
This requires corresponding changes in llvm-gcc and clang.

- Recognize expressions like "x > -1 ? x : 0" as min/max and turn them
into expressions like "x < 0 ? 0 : x", which is easily recognizable
as a min/max operation.
- Refrain from folding expression like "y/2 < 1" to "y < 2" when the
comparison is being used as part of a min or max idiom, like
"y/2 < 1 ? 1 : y/2". In that case, the division has another use, so
folding doesn't eliminate it, and obfuscates the min/max, making it
harder to recognize as a min/max operation.
These benefit ScalarEvolution, CodeGen, and anything else that wants to
recognize integer min and max.

Also, fix a subtle bug in SimplifyDemandedVectorElts'
insertelement code.
This is a patch that was originally written by Eli Friedman,
with some fixes and cleanup by me.

This also generalizes the previous xforms to work on long double, now that
isExactlyValue works for long double.

Remove the GetResultInst instruction. It is still accepted in LLVM assembly
and bitcode, where it is now auto-upgraded to ExtractValueInst. Also, remove
support for return instructions with multiple values. These are auto-upgraded
to use InsertValueInst instructions.
The IRBuilder still accepts multiple-value returns, and auto-upgrades them
to InsertValueInst instructions.
