In loop-vectorize, interleave count and vector factor depend on target register number. Currently, it does not
estimate different register pressure for different register class separately(especially for scalar type,
float type should not be on the same position with int type), so it's not accurate. Specifically,
it causes too many times interleaving/unrolling, result in too many register spills in loop body and hurting performance.
So we need classify the register classes in IR level, and importantly these are abstract register classes,
and are not the target register class of backend provided in td file. It's used to establish the mapping between
the types of IR values and the number of simultaneous live ranges to which we'd like to limit for some set of those types.
For example, POWER target, register num is special when VSX is enabled. When VSX is enabled, the number of int scalar register is 32(GPR),
float is 64(VSR), but for int and float vector register both are 64(VSR). So there should be 2 kinds of register class when vsx is enabled,
and 3 kinds of register class when VSX is NOT enabled.
It runs on POWER target, it makes big(+~30%) performance improvement in one specific bmk(503.bwaves_r) of spec2017 and no other obvious degressions.

This reverts commit 9f41deccc0.
This reverts commit 18b6fe07bc.
The patch is breaking PowerPC internal build, checked with author, reverting
on behalf of him for now due to timezone.

These are changes to reduce redundant computations when calculating a
feasible vectorization factor:
1. early return when target has no vector registers
2. don't compute register usage for the default VF.
Suggested during review for D37702.

The register usage algorithm incorrectly treats instructions whose value is
not used within the loop (e.g. those that do not produce a value).
The algorithm first calculates the usages within the loop. It iterates over
the instructions in order, and records at which instruction index each use
ends (in fact, they're actually recorded against the next index, as this is
when we want to delete them from the open intervals).
The algorithm then iterates over the instructions again, adding each
instruction in turn to a list of open intervals. Instructions are then
removed from the list of open intervals when they occur in the list of uses
ended at the current index.
The problem is, instructions which are not used in the loop are skipped.
However, although they aren't used, the last use of a value may have been
recorded against that instruction index. In this case, the use is not deleted
from the open intervals, which may then bump up the estimated register usage.
This patch fixes the issue by simply moving the "is used" check after the loop
which erases the uses at the current index.

For instructions in uniform set, they will not have vector versions so
add them to VecValuesToIgnore.
For induction vars, those only used in uniform instructions or consecutive
ptrs instructions have already been added to VecValuesToIgnore above. For
those induction vars which are only used in uniform instructions or
non-consecutive/non-gather scatter ptr instructions, the related phi and
update will also be added into VecValuesToIgnore set.
The change will make the vector RegUsages estimation less conservative.

(This is the third attempt to check in this patch, and the first two are r255454
and r255460. The once failed test file reg-usage.ll is now moved to
test/Transform/LoopVectorize/X86 directory with target datalayout and target
triple indicated.)
LoopVectorizationCostModel::calculateRegisterUsage() is used to estimate the
register usage for specific VFs. However, it takes into account many
instructions that won't be vectorized, such as induction variables,
GetElementPtr instruction, etc.. This makes the loop vectorizer too conservative
when choosing VF. In this patch, the induction variables that won't be
vectorized plus GetElementPtr instruction will be added to ValuesToIgnore set
so that their register usage won't be considered any more.
