The loop vectorizer usually vectorizes any instruction it can and then
extracts the elements for a scalarized use. On SystemZ, all elements
containing addresses must be extracted into address registers (GRs). Since
this extraction is not free, it is better to have the address in a suitable
register to begin with. By forcing address arithmetic instructions and loads
of addresses to be scalar after vectorization, two benefits result:
* No need to extract the register
* LSR optimizations trigger (LSR isn't handling vector addresses currently)
Benchmarking show improvements on SystemZ with this new behaviour.
Any other target could try this by returning false in the new hook
prefersVectorizedAddressing().

The cost for a branch after vectorization is very different depending on if
the vectorizer will if-convert the block (branch is eliminated), or if
scalarized and predicated blocks will be produced (branch duplicated before
each block). There is also the case of remaining scalar branches, such as the
back-edge branch.
This patch handles these cases differently with TTI based cost estimates.

Since SystemZ supports vector element load/store instructions, there is no
need for extracts/inserts if a vector load/store gets scalarized.
This patch lets Target specify that it supports such instructions by means of
a new TTI hook that defaults to false.
The use for this is in the LoopVectorizer getScalarizationOverhead() method,
which will with this patch produce a smaller sum for a vector load/store on
SystemZ.

getArithmeticInstrCost(), getShuffleCost(), getCastInstrCost(),
getCmpSelInstrCost(), getVectorInstrCost(), getMemoryOpCost(),
getInterleavedMemoryOpCost() implemented.
Interleaved access vectorization enabled.
BasicTTIImpl::getCastInstrCost() improved to check for legal extending loads,
in which case the cost of the z/sext instruction becomes 0.
