[SCEV] Be less conservative when extending bitwidths for computing ranges.
Summary:
In getRangeForAffineAR we compute ranges for affine exprs E = A + B*C,
where ranges for A, B, and C are known. To avoid overflow, we need to
operate on a bigger bitwidth, and originally we chose 2*x+1 for this
(x being the original bitwidth). However, it is safe to use just 2*x:
A+B*C <= (2^x - 1) + (2^x - 1)*(2^x - 1) =
= 2^x - 1 + 2^2x - 2^x - 2^x + 1 =
= 2^2x - 2^x <= 2^2x - 1
Unnecessary extending of bitwidths results in noticeable slowdowns: ranges
perform arithmetic operations using APInt, which are much slower when bitwidths
are bigger than 64.
