Teach LoopSimplify how to merge multiple loop exits into a single exit,

when one of them can be converted to a trivial icmp and conditional
branch.

This addresses what is essentially a phase ordering problem.
SimplifyCFG knows how to do this transformation, but it doesn't do so
if the primary block has any instructions in it other than an icmp and
a branch. In the given testcase, the block contains other instructions,
however they are loop-invariant and can be hoisted. SimplifyCFG doesn't
have LoopInfo though, so it can't hoist them. And, it's important that
the blocks be merged before LoopRotation, as it doesn't support
multiple-exit loops.
