Previously, whenever we needed a vector IV, we would create it on the fly,
by splatting the scalar IV and adding a step vector. Instead, we can create a
real vector IV. This tends to save a couple of instructions per iteration.
This only changes the behavior for the most basic case - integer primary
IVs with a constant step.

Vectorization of memory instruction (Load/Store) is possible when the pointer is coming from GEP. The GEP analysis allows to estimate the profit.
In some cases we have a "bitcast" between GEP and memory instruction.
I added code that skips the "bitcast".
