[InstCombine] Teach takeLog2 about right shifts, truncation and bitwise-and

We left some easy opportunities for further simplifications.

log2(trunc(x)) is simply trunc(log2(x)). This is safe if we know that
trunc is NUW because it means that the truncation didn't drop any bits.
It is also safe if the caller is OK with zero as a possible answer.

log2(x >>u y) is simply `log2(x) - y`.

log2(x & y) is a funny one. It comes up when doing something like:
```
unsigned int f(unsigned int x, unsigned int y) {
  unsigned char a = 1u << x;
  return y / a;
}
```

LLVM would canonicalize this to:
```
  %shl = shl nuw i32 1, %x
  %conv1 = and i32 %shl, 255
  %div = udiv i32 %y, %conv1
```

In cases like these, we can ignore the mask entirely.
This is equivalent to `y >> x`.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch

Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
