[SCEV] Clarify behavior around max backedge taken count

This change makes the split between the "exact" backedge taken count
and the "maximum" backedge taken count a bit more obvious.  Both of
these are upper bounds on the number of times the loop header
executes (since SCEV does not account for most kinds of abnormal
control flow), but the latter is guaranteed to be a constant.

There were a few places where the max backedge taken count *was* a
non-constant; I've changed those to compute constants instead.

At this point, I'm not sure if the constant max backedge count can be
computed by calling `getUnsignedRange(Exact).getUnsignedMax()` without
losing precision.  If it can, we can simplify even further by making
`getMaxBackedgeTakenCount` a thin wrapper around
`getBackedgeTakenCount` and `getUnsignedRange`.
