Add CanonicalizeFreezeInLoops pass
Summary: If an induction variable is frozen and used, SCEV yields imprecise result because it doesn't say anything about frozen variables. Due to this reason, performance degradation happened after https://reviews.llvm.org/D76483 is merged, causing SCEV yield imprecise result and preventing LSR to optimize a loop. The suggested solution here is to add a pass which canonicalizes frozen variables inside a loop. To be specific, it pushes freezes out of the loop by freezing the initial value and step values instead & dropping nsw/nuw flags from instructions used by freeze. This solution was also mentioned at https://reviews.llvm.org/D70623 .
