[Bug tree-optimization/32044] [4.3/4.4 Regression] final value replacement too aggressive for e.g. targets with no native div/mod insns

I agree that the most practical short-term solution is to avoid transforming
the loop into a division.

However, I'm also interested in what we think the right long-term solution is. 
I'm not convinced that our goal should be to preserve the form used by the
user; rather, I'm inclined to say that our goal should be to (a) recognize the
loop as division, and, (b) generate loops to implement division when
profitable.  It's reasonable is to say that the form user by the user
influences the decision about profitability made in (b).
