Delinearization provides two values: the size of the array, and the subscript of the access. DA checks their validity (`0 <= subscript < size`), with some special handling. In particular, to ensure `subscript < size`, calculate the maximum value of `subscript - size` and check if it is negative. There was an issue in its process: when `subscript - size` is expressed as an affine format like `init + step * i`, the value in the last iteration (`start + step * (num_iterations - 1)`) was assumed to be the maximum value. This assumption is incorrect in the following cases:

- When `step` is negative
- When the AddRec wraps

This patch introduces extra checks to ensure the sign of `step` and verify the existence of nsw/nuw flags.

Fix #150604
