Currently SCCP does not widen PHIs, stores or along call edges
(arguments/return values), but on operations that directly extend ranges
(like binary operators).

This means PHIs, stores and call edges are not pessimized by widening
currently, while binary operators are. The main reason for widening
operators initially was that opting-out for certain operations was
more straight-forward in the initial implementation (and it did not
matter too much, as range support initially was only implemented for a
very limited set of operations.

During the discussion in D78391 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D78391>, it was suggested to consider flipping
widening to PHIs, stores and along call edges. After adding support for
tracking the number of range extensions in ValueLattice, limiting the
number of range extensions per value is straight forward.

This patch introduces a MaxWidenSteps option to the MergeOptions,
limiting the number of range extensions per value. For PHIs, it seems
natural allow an extension for each (active) incoming value plus 1. For
the other cases, a arbitrary limit of 10 has been chosen initially. It would
potentially make sense to set it depending on the users of a
function/global, but that still needs investigating. This potentially
leads to more state-changes and longer compile-times.

The results look quite promising (MultiSource, SPEC):
