We may end up with a case where we have a widenable branch above the loop, but not all widenable branches within the loop have been removed. Since a widenable branch inhibit SCEVs ability to reason about exit counts (by design), we have a tradeoff between effectiveness of this optimization and allowing future widening of the branches within the loop. LoopPred is thought to be one of the most important optimizations for range check elimination, so let's pay the cost.

As a reminder, a "widenable branch" is the pattern "br i1 (and i1 X, WC()), label %taken, label %untaken" where "WC" is the widenable condition intrinsics. The semantics of such a branch (derived from the semantics of WC) is that a new condition can be added into the condition arbitrarily without violating legality.
Broaden the definition in two ways:
Allow swapped operands to the br (and X, WC()) form
Allow widenable branch w/trivial condition (i.e. true) which takes form of br i1 WC()
The former is just general robustness (e.g. for X = non-instruction this is what instcombine produces). The later is specifically important as partial unswitching of a widenable range check produces exactly this form above the loop.

Unswitch (and other loop transforms) like to generate loop exit blocks with unconditional successors, and phi nodes (LCSSA, or simple multiple exiting blocks sharing an exit). Generalize the "likely very rare exit" check slightly to handle this form.

This implements a version of the predicateLoopExits transform from IndVarSimplify extended to exploit widenable conditions - and thus be much wider in scope of legality. The code structure ends up being almost entirely different, so I chose to duplicate this into the LoopPredication pass instead of trying to reuse the code in the IndVars.
The core notions of the transform are as follows:
If we have a widenable condition which controls entry into the loop, we're allowed to widen it arbitrarily. Given that, it's simply a *profitability* question as to what conditions to fold into the widenable branch.
To avoid pass ordering issues, we want to avoid widening cases that would otherwise be dischargeable. Or... widen in a form which can still be discharged. Thus, we phrase the transform as selecting one analyzeable exit from the set of analyzeable exits to keep. This avoids creating pass ordering complexities.
Since none of the above proves that we actually exit through our analyzeable exits - we might exit through something else entirely - we limit ourselves to cases where a) the latch is analyzeable and b) the latch is predicted taken, and c) the exit being removed is statically cold.
