Exploit distributive laws (eg: And distributes over Or, Mul over Add, etc) in a
fairly systematic way in instcombine. Some of these cases were already dealt
with, in which case I removed the existing code. The case of Add has a bunch of
funky logic which covers some of this plus a few variants (considers shifts to be
a form of multiplication), which I didn't touch. The simplification performed is:
A*B+A*C -> A*(B+C). The improvement is to do this in cases that were not already
handled [such as A*B-A*C -> A*(B-C), which was reported on the mailing list], and
also to do it more often by not checking for "only one use" if "B+C" simplifies.
