Initial implementation of the strength reduction for GEP instructions in
loops.  This optimization is not turned on by default yet, but may be run
with the opt tool's -loop-reduce flag.  There are many FIXMEs listed in the
code that will make it far more applicable to a wide range of code, but you
have to start somewhere :)

This limited version currently triggers on the following tests in the
MultiSource directory:
pcompress2: 7 times
cfrac: 5 times
anagram: 2 times
ks: 6 times
yacr2: 2 times
