Fix the time regression I introduced in 464.h264ref with

my last patch to this file.

The issue there was that all uses of an IV inside a loop
are actually references to Base[IV*2], and there was one
use outside that was the same but LSR didn't see the base
or the scaling because it didn't recurse into uses outside
the loop; thus, it used base+IV*scale mode inside the loop
instead of pulling base out of the loop.  This was extra bad
because register pressure later forced both base and IV into
memory.  Doing that recursion, at least enough
to figure out addressing modes, is a good idea in general;
the change in AddUsersIfInteresting does this.  However,
there were side effects....

It is also possible for recursing outside the loop to
introduce another IV where there was only 1 before (if
the refs inside are not scaled and the ref outside is).
I don't think this is a common case, but it's in the testsuite.
It is right to be very aggressive about getting rid of
such introduced IVs (CheckForIVReuse and the handling of
nonzero RewriteFactor in StrengthReduceStridedIVUsers).
In the testcase in question the new IV produced this way
has both a nonconstant stride and a nonzero base, neither
of which was handled before.  (This patch does not handle 
all the cases where this can happen.)  And when inserting 
new code that feeds into a PHI, it's right to put such 
code at the original location rather than in the PHI's 
immediate predecessor(s) when the original location is outside 
the loop (a case that couldn't happen before)
(RewriteInstructionToUseNewBase); better to avoid making
multiple copies of it in this case.

Everything above is exercised in
CodeGen/X86/lsr-negative-stride.ll (and ifcvt4 in ARM which is
the same IR).
