Teach LSR to strength reduce IVs that have a loop-invariant but non-constant stride.

For code like this:

void foo(float *a, float *b, int n, int stride_a, int stride_b) {
  int i;
  for (i=0; i<n; i++)
      a[i*stride_a] = b[i*stride_b];
}

we now emit:

.LBB_foo2_2:    ; no_exit
        lfs f0, 0(r4)
        stfs f0, 0(r3)
        addi r7, r7, 1
        add r4, r2, r4
        add r3, r6, r3
        cmpw cr0, r7, r5
        blt .LBB_foo2_2 ; no_exit

instead of:

.LBB_foo_2:     ; no_exit
        mullw r8, r2, r7     ;; multiply!
        slwi r8, r8, 2
        lfsx f0, r4, r8
        mullw r8, r2, r6     ;; multiply!
        slwi r8, r8, 2
        stfsx f0, r3, r8
        addi r2, r2, 1
        cmpw cr0, r2, r5
        blt .LBB_foo_2  ; no_exit

loops with variable strides occur pretty often.  For example, in SPECFP2K
there are 317 variable strides in 177.mesa, 3 in 179.art, 14 in 188.ammp,
56 in 168.wupwise, 36 in 172.mgrid.

Now we can allow indvars to turn functions written like this:

void foo2(float *a, float *b, int n, int stride_a, int stride_b) {
  int i, ai = 0, bi = 0;
  for (i=0; i<n; i++)
    {
      a[ai] = b[bi];
      ai += stride_a;
      bi += stride_b;
    }
}

into code like the above for better analysis.  With this patch, they generate
identical code.
