Detailed Description

Induction variable analysis.   
The description of induction variable.  The things are a bit complicated
due to need to handle subregs and extends.  The value of the object described
by it can be obtained as follows (all computations are done in extend_mode):

Value in i-th iteration is
  delta + mult * extend_{extend_mode} (subreg_{mode} (base + i * step)).

If first_special is true, the value in the first iteration is
  delta + mult * base

If extend = UNKNOWN, first_special must be false, delta 0, mult 1 and value is
  subreg_{mode} (base + i * step)

The get_iv_value function can be used to obtain these expressions.

??? Add a third mode field that would specify the mode in that inner
computation is done, which would enable it to be different from the
outer one?
