[Andrew, do you see any problem with using the minus relational code
here?  It seems like everything matches up.]

I've seen cases in the upcoming jump threader enhancements where we see
a difference of two pointers that are known to be equivalent, and yet we
fail to return 0 for the range.  This is because we have no working
range-op entry for POINTER_DIFF_EXPR.  The entry we currently have is
a mere placeholder to avoid ignoring POINTER_DIFF_EXPR's so
adjust_pointer_diff_expr() could get a whack at it here:

//      def = __builtin_memchr (arg, 0, sz)
//      n = def - arg
//
// The range for N can be narrowed to [0, PTRDIFF_MAX - 1].

For the two statements above a tighter bound is possible: [0, sz).

With no range info, sz can be assumed to be in [0, N], where N
is one less than the smaller of PTRDIFF_MAX and the size of arg.
(With PTRDIFF_MAX being only hypothetical.  max_object_size()
should at some return the actual limit for the current target).

The same (or even tighter) range can be derived from calls to
other functions, including like mempcpy/stpcpy, or strchr, etc.

This patch adds the relational magic to range-op, which we can just
steal from the minus_expr code.

Testing currently in progress.  I will commit pending tests.

gcc/ChangeLog:

        * range-op.cc (operator_minus::op1_op2_relation_effect): Abstract
        out to...
        (minus_op1_op2_relation_effect): ...here.
        (class operator_pointer_diff): New.
        (operator_pointer_diff::op1_op2_relation_effect): Call
        minus_op1_op2_relation_effect.
        (integral_table::integral_table): Add entry for POINTER_DIFF_EXPR.
