This commit defines a dataflow analysis for integer ranges, which
uses a newly-added InferIntRangeInterface to compute the lower and
upper bounds on the results of an operation from the bounds on the
arguments. The range inference is a flow-insensitive dataflow analysis
that can be used to simplify code, such as by statically identifying
bounds checks that cannot fail in order to eliminate them.
The InferIntRangeInterface has one method, inferResultRanges(), which
takes a vector of inferred ranges for each argument to an op
implementing the interface and a callback allowing the implementation
to define the ranges for each result. These ranges are stored as
ConstantIntRanges, which hold the lower and upper bounds for a
value. Bounds are tracked separately for the signed and unsigned
interpretations of a value, which ensures that the impact of
arithmetic overflows is correctly tracked during the analysis.
The commit also adds a -test-int-range-inference pass to test the
analysis until it is integrated into SCCP or otherwise exposed.
Finally, this commit fixes some bugs relating to the handling of
region iteration arguments and terminators in the data flow analysis
framework.

What about this is arithmetic specific? Can we have this in a more general place?
