The SLP vectorizer should propagate IR-level optimization hints/flags (nsw, nuw, exact, fast-math)
when converting scalar instructions into vectors. But this isn't a simple copy - we need to take
the intersection (the logical 'and') of the sets of flags on the scalars.
The solution is further complicated because we can have non-uniform (non-SIMD) vector ops after:

The vast majority of changed files are existing tests that were not propagating IR flags, but I've
also added a new test file for focused testing of IR flag possibilities.

This patch adds support to recognize patterns such as fadd,fsub,fadd,fsub.../add,sub,add,sub... and
vectorizes them as vector shuffles if they are profitable.
These patterns of vector shuffle can later be converted to instructions such as addsubpd etc on X86.
