Transform code like this

 %V = mul i64 %N, 4
 %t = getelementptr i8* bitcast (i32* %arr to i8*), i32 %V
into
 %t1 = getelementptr i32* %arr, i32 %N
 %t = bitcast i32* %t1 to i8*
incorporating the multiplication into the getelementptr.
This happens all the time in dragonegg, for example for
  int foo(int *A, int N) {
    return A[N];
  }
because gcc turns this into byte pointer arithmetic before it hits the plugin:
  D.1590_2 = (long unsigned int) N_1(D);
  D.1591_3 = D.1590_2 * 4;
  D.1592_5 = A_4(D) + D.1591_3;
  D.1589_6 = *D.1592_5;
  return D.1589_6;
The D.1592_5 line is a POINTER_PLUS_EXPR, which is turned into a getelementptr
on a bitcast of A_4 to i8*, so this becomes exactly the kind of IR that the
transform fires on.

An analogous transform (with no testcases!) already existed for bitcasts of
arrays, so I rewrote it to share code with this one.
