We were using the default getScalarizationOverhead expansion for extraction costs, which adds up all the individual element extraction costs.
This is fine for 128-bit vectors, but for 256/512-bit vectors each element extraction also has to account for extracting the upper 128-bit subvector extraction before it can handle the element. For scalarization costs we only need to extract each demanded subvector once.

The analysis passes output function name encapsulated in `'` braces,
but LV uses `"`. Harmonizing this may help in creating an update script
for the LV costmodel test checks.

We ask `TTI.getAddressComputationCost()` about the cost of computing vector address,
and then multiply it by the vector width. This doesn't make any sense,
it implies that we'd do a vector GEP and then scalarize the vector of pointers,
but there is no such thing in the vectorized IR, we perform scalar GEP's.
This is *especially* bad on X86, and was effectively prohibiting any scalarized
vectorization of gathers/scatters, because `X86TTIImpl::getAddressComputationCost()`
says that cost of vector address computation is `10` as compared to `1` for scalar.
The computed costs are similar to the ones with D111222+D111220,
but we end up without masked memory intrinsics that we'd then have to
expand later on, without much luck. (D111363)

And another attempt to start untangling this ball of threads around gather.
There's `TTI::prefersVectorizedAddressing()`hoop, which confusingly defaults to `true`,
which tells LV to try to vectorize the addresses that lead to loads,
but X86 generally can not deal with vectors of addresses,
the only instructions that support that are GATHER/SCATTER,
but even those aren't available until AVX2, and aren't really usable until AVX512.
This specializes the hook for X86, to return true only if we have AVX512 or AVX2 w/ fast gather.

`X86TTIImpl::getGSScalarCost()` has (at least) two issues:
* it naively computes the cost of sequence of `insertelement`/`extractelement`.
If we are operating not on the XMM (but YMM/ZMM),
this widely overestimates the cost of subvector insertions/extractions.
* Gather/scatter takes a vector of pointers, and scalarization results in us performing
scalar memory operation for each of these pointers, but we never account for the cost
of extracting these pointers out of the vector of pointers.
