[InstCombine] Use zext's nneg flag for icmp folding (#70845)
This PR fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/55013 : the max intrinsics is not generated for this simple loop case : https://godbolt.org/z/hxz1xhMPh. This is caused by a ICMP not being folded into a select, thus not generating the max intrinsics. For the story : Since LLVM 14, SCCP pass got smarter by folding sext into zext for positive ranges : https://reviews.llvm.org/D81756. After this change, InstCombine was sometimes unable to fold ICMP correctly as both of the arguments pointed to mismatched zext/sext. To fix this, @rotateright implemented this fix : https://reviews.llvm.org/D124419 that tries to resolve the mismatch by knowing if the argument of a zext is positive (in which case, it is like a sext) by using ValueTracking, however ValueTracking is not smart enough to infer that the value is positive in some cases. Recently, @nikic implemented #67982 which keeps the information that a zext is non-negative. This PR simply uses this information to do the folding accordingly. TLDR : This PR uses the recent nneg tag on zext to fold the icmp accordingly in instcombine. This PR also contains test cases for sext/zext folding with InstCombine as well as a x86 regression tests for the max/min case.
