[llvm] [IndVarSimplify] Introduce `simulateFPIVTripCount` to canonicalize fp loops (PR #169707)

https://github.com/antoniofrighetto created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/169707

Add support to brute-force floating-point IVs, by actually evaluating the loop (up to cut-off), in order to compute its integer trip count. This should be desirable when any of the value in the recurrence cannot be represented as an exact integer (e.g., with fractional increments); in an attempt to further canonicalize loops using floating-point IVs, and bring such loops in a more amenable form to SCEV users.

Proofs: https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/PeLqcb, https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/Pxpzm3.

Missed optimization that GCC catches via cunrolli, featuring a similar bruteforce evaluation: https://godbolt.org/z/E1Ea68W76.

Rebased over: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/169706.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [IndVarSimplify] Refactor `handleFloatingPointIV`,
 modernize pass (NFC)

`handleFloatingPointIV` is now abstracted out into different routines,
particularly:
- `maybeFloatingPointRecurrence` which establishes whether we handle a
  floating-point iv recurrence;
- `tryConvertToIntegerIV` which attempts to convert the fp start, step
  and exit values into integer ones;
- `canonicalizeToIntegerIV` which rewrites the recurrence.

Minor opportunity to modernize the code where possible.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] [IndVarSimplify] Introduce `simulateFPIVTripCount` to
 canonicalize fp loops

Add support to brute-force floating-point IVs, by actually evaluating
the loop (up to cut-off), in order to compute its integer trip count.
This should be desirable when any of the value in the recurrence cannot
be represented as an exact integer (e.g., with fractional increments);
in an attempt to further canonicalize loops using floating-point IVs,
and bring such loops in a more amenable form to SCEV users.

Proofs: https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/PeLqcb, https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/Pxpzm3.
