This patch marks the induction increment of the main induction variable
of the vector loop as NUW when not folding the tail.
If the tail is not folded, we know that End - Start >= Step (either
statically or through the minimum iteration checks). We also know that both
Start % Step == 0 and End % Step == 0. We exit the vector loop if %IV +
%Step == %End. Hence we must exit the loop before %IV + %Step unsigned
overflows and we can mark the induction increment as NUW.
This should make SCEV return more precise bounds for the created vector
loops, used by later optimizations, like late unrolling.
At the moment quite a few tests still need to be updated, but before
doing so I'd like to get initial feedback to make sure I am not missing
anything.
Note that this could probably be further improved by using information
from the original IV.

We can't see how much overhead/redundancy is being
created with the partial checks.
To make it smaller and easier to read, I reduced the
vectorization factor because that does not add new
information - it just duplicates things.
The assume intrinsic is intentionally marked as may reading/writing
memory, to avoid passes moving them around. When flattening the CFG
for predicated blocks, we have to drop the assume calls, as they
are control-flow dependent.
There are some cases where we can do better (when control flow is
preserved), but that is follow-up work.
Fixes PR43620.
