This implements 2 different vectorisation fallback strategies if tail-folding
fails: 1) don't vectorise at all, or 2) vectorise using a scalar epilogue. This
can be controlled with option -prefer-predicate-over-epilogue, that has been
changed to take a numeric value corresponding to the tail-folding preference
and preferred fallback.

If a loop has a constant trip count known to be a multiple of MaxVF (times user
UF), LV infers that no tail will be generated for any chosen VF. This relies on
the chosen VF's being powers of 2 bound by MaxVF, and assumes MaxVF is a power
of 2. Make sure the latter holds, in particular when MaxVF is set by a memory
dependence distance which may not be a power of 2.
