Currently when cost of scalar operations is evaluated the vector type is
used for scalar operations. Patch fixes this issue and fixes evaluation
of the vector operations cost.
Several test showed that vector cost model is too optimistic. It
allowed vectorization of 8 or less add/fadd operations, though scalar
code is faster. Actually, only for 16 or more operations vector code
provides better performance.

Currently in LLVM's cost model, a vectorized arithmetic instruction will have
high cost if its type is split into multiple registers. However, this
punishment is too heavy and unnecessary. The overhead of the split should not
be on arithmetic instructions but instructions that implement the split. Note
that during vectorization we have calculated the register pressure, and we
only choose proper interleaving factor (and also vectorization factor) so
that we don't use more registers than the maximum number.
Here is a very simple example: if a vadd has the cost 1, and if we double VF
so that we need two registers to perform it, then its cost will become 4 with
the current implementation, which will prevent us to use larger VF.

Upcoming SLP vectorization improvements will want to be able to estimate costs
of horizontal reductions. Add infrastructure to support this.
We model reductions as a series of (shufflevector,add) tuples ultimately
followed by an extractelement. For example, for an add-reduction of <4 x float>
we could generate the following sequence:
(v0, v1, v2, v3)
\ \ / /
\ \ /
+ +
(v0+v2, v1+v3, undef, undef)
\ /
((v0+v2) + (v1+v3), undef, undef)
%rdx.shuf = shufflevector <4 x float> %rdx, <4 x float> undef,
<4 x i32> <i32 2, i32 3, i32 undef, i32 undef>
%bin.rdx = fadd <4 x float> %rdx, %rdx.shuf
%rdx.shuf7 = shufflevector <4 x float> %bin.rdx, <4 x float> undef,
<4 x i32> <i32 1, i32 undef, i32 undef, i32 undef>
%bin.rdx8 = fadd <4 x float> %bin.rdx, %rdx.shuf7
%r = extractelement <4 x float> %bin.rdx8, i32 0
This commit adds a cost model interface "getReductionCost(Opcode, Ty, Pairwise)"
that will allow clients to ask for the cost of such a reduction (as backends
might generate more efficient code than the cost of the individual instructions
summed up). This interface is excercised by the CostModel analysis pass which
looks for reduction patterns like the one above - starting at extractelements -
and if it sees a matching sequence will call the cost model interface.
We will also support a second form of pairwise reduction that is well supported
on common architectures (haddps, vpadd, faddp).
