This patch adds a getPlan accessor to VPBlockBase, which finds the entry
block of the plan containing the block and returns the plan set for this
block.
VPBlockBase contains a VPlan pointer, but it should only be set for
the entry block of a plan. This allows moving blocks without updating
the pointer for each moved block and in the future we might introduce a
parent relationship between plans and blocks, similar to the one in LLVM IR.

VPlan-native path
Context: Patch Series #2 for outer loop vectorization support in LV
using VPlan. (RFC:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-December/119523.html).
Patch series #2 checks that inner loops are still trivially lock-step
among all vector elements. Non-loop branches are blindly assumed as
divergent.
Changes here implement VPlan based predication algorithm to compute
predicates for blocks that need predication. Predicates are computed
for the VPLoop region in reverse post order. A block's predicate is
computed as OR of the masks of all incoming edges. The mask for an
incoming edge is computed as AND of predecessor block's predicate and
either predecessor's Condition bit or NOT(Condition bit) depending on
whether the edge from predecessor block to the current block is true
or false edge.
