  Log Message:
  -----------
  [SCEV] If Start>=RHS, simplify (Start smin RHS) = RHS for trip counts.

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.
