[SCEV] Introduce loop-uniform SCEV classification. (#194304)

This patch extends `ScalarEvolution::LoopDisposition` with a new
`LoopUniform` state to describe SCEVs that are invariant across all
iterations of a given loop, but may still depend on inner-loop induction
variables.

Unlike `LoopInvariant`, which requires the value to be fully invariant
with respect to the loop, LoopUniform captures expressions that do not
depend on the loop’s own induction variables, yet may vary in nested
loops. This distinction is useful for analyses and optimizations that
reason about per-iteration stability at a specific loop level.

Example:
```
for (i)
  for (j)
    dep(j);       // uniform w.r.t. i
    dep(i, j);    // not uniform w.r.t. i
```

This enables us to more precisely reason about the behavior of SCEV in
the context of nested loops, which is very useful for optimizations such
as `LoopUnrollAndJam` and `OuterLoopVectorization`.

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.
