LOG: [SCEV] Add canonical SCEV pointer and construct canonical SCEVs (NFC) (#188858)

Add a canonical SCEV pointer to SCEV, to support comparing SCEVs for
equality, even with different use-specific flags.

Currently this should be NFC, as nothing yet sets use flags.

Compile-time impact:

+0.03% - +0.05% on stage1 configs
-0.03% surprisingly for stage2-O3
