[SCEV] Limit max size of AddRecExpr during evolving

When SCEV calculates product of two SCEVAddRecs from the same loop, it
tries to combine them into one big AddRecExpr. If the sizes of the initial
SCEVs were `S1` and `S2`, the size of their product is `S1 + S2 - 1`, and every
operand of the resulting SCEV is combined from operands of initial SCEV and
has much higher complexity than they have.

As result, if we try to calculate something like:
  %x1 = {a,+,b}
  %x2 = mul i32 %x1, %x1
  %x3 = mul i32 %x2, %x1
  %x4 = mul i32 %x3, %x2
  ...
The size of such SCEVs grows as `2^N`, and the arguments
become more and more complex as we go forth. This leads
to long compilation and huge memory consumption.

This patch sets a limit after which we don't try to combine two
`SCEVAddRecExpr`s into one. By default, max allowed size of the
resulting AddRecExpr is set to 16.
