[PATCH] DAGCombiner: Merge load/store sequences with adresses: base + index + offset

[Arnold Schwaighofer]

We would also like to merge sequences that involve a variable index like in the
example below.

    int index = *idx++
    int i0 = c[index+0];
    int i1 = c[index+1];
    b[0] = i0;
    b[1] = i1;

By extending the parsing of the base pointer to handle dags that contain a
base, index, and offset we can handle examples like the one above.

The dag for the code above will look something like:

 (load (i64 add (i64 copyfromreg %c)
                (i64 signextend (i8 load %index))))

 (load (i64 add (i64 copyfromreg %c)
                (i64 signextend (i32 add (i32 signextend (i8 load %index))
                                         (i32 1)))))

The code that parses the tree ignores the intermediate sign extensions. However,
if there is a sign extension it needs to be on all indexes.

 (load (i64 add (i64 copyfromreg %c)
                (i64 signextend (add (i8 load %index)
                                     (i8 1))))
 vs

 (load (i64 add (i64 copyfromreg %c)
                (i64 signextend (i32 add (i32 signextend (i8 load %index))
                                         (i32 1)))))
