Loop condition i != T.Length bounds check not eliminated

[xtqqczze]

This is not a particularly common pattern, but it is a missed optimization all the same.

Consider:

    public static int Array_NE(byte[] src)
    {    
        int sum = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i != src.Length; i++)
            sum += src[i];
        return sum;
    }
    public static int Array_LT(byte[] src)
    {    
        int sum = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < src.Length; i++)
            sum += src[i];
        return sum;
    }

A bounds check is eliminated for the second method but not the first.

Applies to T[], string, Span<T>, ReadOnlySpan<T>, etc.

cc @BruceForstall if this loop shape can be recognized as normal, monotonically increased one

Also missed in the backward iteration case, I think there there is an existing issue though.

    public static int Array_Backward_GE(Byte[] src)
    {    
        int sum = 0;
        for (int i = src.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
            sum += src[i];
        return sum;
    }

        return sum;
    }

This could be a common pattern in cases where people have copied things from c

Found the existing issue: #9505.

Backward iteration case for i != T.Length, very common in C:

    public static int Array_Backward_NE(Byte[] src)
    {    
        int sum = 0;
        int i = src.Length;
        while (i != 0)
        {
            sum += src[--i];
        }
        return sum;
    }
