  our use of equivalences on range-on-entry calculations cause an issue 
through a PHI node when a back edge is involved.  ie
    a = VARYING
    <...>
bb5
    b = PHI <UNDEFINED(2), a (5)>
bb6
    if (a != 0)
      goto bb5

since the value of b is undefined on the edge 2->5, we ignore it. The 
range of a on the edge 6->5 is ~[0,0]
we calculate the range of b to be ~[0,0].   we also provide an 
equivalency between a and b.

Unfortunately the on-entry code looks at equivalencies, and says, "hey, 
a and b are equivalent, so we can use the range of b instead"

So it now thinks a is ~[0,0] and folds away the condition.

The problem is that b can be considered equivalent to a, but the 
converse is not true, because there is a path (2->5) upon which a is not 
equivalent to b.  we have no way to represent a one way equivalence at 
the moment. This patch avoid using that relation in range-on-entry 
calculations.

Perhaps next release I'll add a specific kind of one way equivalence for 
this kind of situation.

Bootstraps on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with no regressions. OK?

OK.  Note that equivalences across backedges can also result in
values from one cycle iteration to be used in another - a SSA def
in a SSA cycle can have different values.

Patch

commit ecf19b6eb6f8e17d8d148e3c6627bd2151766420

    Don't use PHI equivalences in range-on-entry.
    
    If there is only one argument to a PHI which is defined, an equivalency is
    created between the def and the argument.  It is safe to consider the def
    equal to the argument, but it is dangerous to assume the argument is also
    equivalent to the def as there may be branches which change the range on the
    path to the PHI on that argument
    
    This patch avoid using that relation in range-on-entry calculations.
