Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [HashRecognize] Rewrite arePHIsIntertwined

The test crc8.le.tc16 is a valid CRC algorithm, but isn't recognized as
such due to a buggy arePHIsIntertwined, which is asymmetric in its PHI
node arguments. Another issue is that arePHIsIntertwined is
unnecessarily complicated: the core functionality is to match a BinOp
that's a recurrence in both PHI nodes, ignoring zext and trunc casts.
Hence, rewrite it for clarity, and make it symmetric in both PHI
operands.

crc8.le.tc16 is still not recognized as a valid CRC algorithm, due to an
incorrect check for loop iterations exceeding the bitwidth of the
result: in reality, it should not exceed the bitwidth of LHSAux, but we
leave this fix to a follow-up.
