      The accumulator tail recursion transform claims to work for any associative · 82b21c08

      operation, but the way it's implemented requires the operation to also be
      commutative.  So add a check for commutativity (and tweak the corresponding
      comments).  This makes no difference in practice since every associative
      LLVM instruction is also commutative!  Here's an example to show the need
      for commutativity: the accum_recursion.ll testcase calculates the factorial
      function.  Before the transformation the result of a call is
        ((((1*1)*2)*3)...)*x
      while afterwards it is
        (((1*x)*(x-1))...*2)*1
      which clearly requires both associativity and commutativity of * to be equal
      to the original.
