* Make the previous patch more efficient by not allocating a temporary MachineInstr

  to do analysis.

*** FOLD getelementptr instructions into loads and stores when possible,
    making use of some of the crazy X86 addressing modes.

For example, the following C++ program fragment:

struct complex {
    double re, im;
    complex(double r, double i) : re(r), im(i) {}
};
inline complex operator+(const complex& a, const complex& b) {
    return complex(a.re+b.re, a.im+b.im);
}
complex addone(const complex& arg) {
    return arg + complex(1,0);
}

Used to be compiled to:
_Z6addoneRK7complex:
        mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
        mov %ECX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
***     mov %EDX, %ECX
        fld QWORD PTR [%EDX]
        fld1
        faddp %ST(1)
***     add %ECX, 8
        fld QWORD PTR [%ECX]
        fldz
        faddp %ST(1)
***     mov %ECX, %EAX
        fxch %ST(1)
        fstp QWORD PTR [%ECX]
***     add %EAX, 8
        fstp QWORD PTR [%EAX]
        ret

Now it is compiled to:
_Z6addoneRK7complex:
        mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
        mov %ECX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
        fld QWORD PTR [%ECX]
        fld1
        faddp %ST(1)
        fld QWORD PTR [%ECX + 8]
        fldz
        faddp %ST(1)
        fxch %ST(1)
        fstp QWORD PTR [%EAX]
        fstp QWORD PTR [%EAX + 8]
        ret

Other programs should see similar improvements, across the board.  Note that
in addition to reducing instruction count, this also reduces register pressure
a lot, always a good thing on X86.  :)
