This patch ensures that when we detect first-order recurrences, we reject a phi
node if its previous value is also a phi node. During vectorization the initial
and previous values of the recurrence are shuffled together to create the value
for the current iteration. However, phi nodes are not widened like other
instructions. This fixes PR27246.

The vectorization of first-order recurrences (r261346) caused PR26734. When
detecting these recurrences, we need to ensure that the previous value is
actually defined inside the loop. This patch includes the fix and test case.

This patch enables the vectorization of first-order recurrences. A first-order
recurrence is a non-reduction recurrence relation in which the value of the
recurrence in the current loop iteration equals a value defined in the previous
iteration. The load PRE of the GVN pass often creates these recurrences by
hoisting loads from within loops.
In this patch, we add a new recurrence kind for first-order phi nodes and
attempt to vectorize them if possible. Vectorization is performed by shuffling
the values for the current and previous iterations. The vectorization cost
estimate is updated to account for the added shuffle instruction.
