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.

This was reverted because of a miscompilation. At closer inspection, the
problem was actually visible in a changed llvm regression test too. This
one-line follow up fix/recommit will splat the IV, which is what we are trying
to avoid if unnecessary in general, if tail-folding is requested even if all
users are scalar instructions after vectorisation. Because with tail-folding,
the splat IV will be used by the predicate of the masked loads/stores
instructions. The previous version omitted this, which caused the
miscompilation. The original commit message was:
If tail-folding of the scalar remainder loop is applied, the primary induction
variable is splat to a vector and used by the masked load/store vector
instructions, thus the IV does not remain scalar. Because we now mark
that the IV does not remain scalar for these cases, we don't emit the vector IV
if it is not used. Thus, the vectoriser produces less dead code.
Thanks to Ayal Zaks for the direction how to fix this.
Cost-modeling decisions are tied to the compute interleave groups
(widening decisions, scalar and uniform values). When invalidating the
interleave groups, those decisions also need to be invalidated.
Otherwise there is a mis-match during VPlan construction.
VPWidenMemoryRecipes created initially are left around w/o converting them
into VPInterleave recipes. Such a conversion indeed should not take place,
and these gather/scatter recipes may in fact be right. The crux is leaving around
obsolete CM_Interleave (and dependent) markings of instructions along with
their costs, instead of recalculating decisions, costs, and recipes.
Alternatively to forcing a complete recompute later on, we could try
to selectively invalidate the decisions connected to the interleave
groups. But we would likely need to run the uniform/scalar value
detection parts again anyways and the extra complexity is probably not
worth it.
Fixes PR45572.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).

The function getMinimumVF(ElemWidth) will return the minimum VF for
a vector with elements of size ElemWidth bits. This value will only
apply to targets for which TTI::shouldMaximizeVectorBandwidth returns
true. The value of 0 indicates that there is no minimum VF.
