The basic idea to this is that a) having a single canonical type makes CSE easier, and b) many of our transforms are inconsistent about which types we end up with based on visit order.
I'm restricting this to constants as for non-constants, we'd have to decide whether the simplicity was worth extra instructions. For constants, there are no extra instructions.
We chose the canonical type as i64 arbitrarily. We might consider changing this to something else in the future if we have cause.

This patch makes SLP and LV emit operations with initial vectors set to poison constant instead of undef.
This is a part of efforts for using poison vector instead of undef to represent "doesn't care" vector.
The goal is to make nice shufflevector optimizations valid that is currently incorrect due to the tricky interaction between undef and poison (see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44185 ).

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

The loop vectorizer usually vectorizes any instruction it can and then
extracts the elements for a scalarized use. On SystemZ, all elements
containing addresses must be extracted into address registers (GRs). Since
this extraction is not free, it is better to have the address in a suitable
register to begin with. By forcing address arithmetic instructions and loads
of addresses to be scalar after vectorization, two benefits result:
* No need to extract the register
* LSR optimizations trigger (LSR isn't handling vector addresses currently)
Benchmarking show improvements on SystemZ with this new behaviour.
Any other target could try this by returning false in the new hook
prefersVectorizedAddressing().
