Teach instcombine's visitLoad to scan back several instructions
to find opportunities for store-to-load forwarding or load CSE, in the same way that visitStore scans back to do DSE. Also, define a new helper function for testing whether the addresses of two memory accesses are known to have the same value, and use it in both visitStore and visitLoad. These two changes allow instcombine to eliminate loads in code produced by front-ends that frequently emit obviously redundant addressing for memory references. llvm-svn: 57608
