cmd/compile: enhance induction variable detection for unrolled loops

Would suggest extending capabilities (32-bit, unsigned, etc)
in separate CLs because prove bugs are so mystifying.

This implements the suggestion in this comment
https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/104041/10/src/cmd/compile/internal/ssa/loopbce.go#164
for inferring properly bounded iteration for loops of the form

for i := K0; i < KNN-(K-1); i += K
for i := K0; i <= KNN-K;    i += K

Where KNN is "known non negative" (i.e., len or cap) and K
is also not negative.  Because i <= KNN-K, i+K <= KNN and
no overflow occurs.

Also handles decreasing case (K1 > 0)
for i := KNN; i >= K0; i -= K1
which works when MININT+K1 < K0
(i.e. MININT < K0-K1, no overflow)

Signed only, also only 64 bit for now.
