DemandedBits and BDCE currently only support scalar integers. This
patch extends them to also handle vector integer operations. In this
case bits are not tracked for individual vector elements, instead a
bit is demanded if it is demanded for any of the elements. This matches
the behavior of computeKnownBits in ValueTracking and
SimplifyDemandedBits in InstCombine.
Unlike the previous iteration of this patch, getDemandedBits() can now
again be called on arbirary (sized) instructions, even if they don't
have integer or vector of integer type. (For vector types the size of the
returned mask will now be the scalar size in bits though.)
The added LoopVectorize test case shows a case which triggered an
assertion failure with the previous attempt, because getDemandedBits()
was called on a pointer-typed instruction.

The getDemandedBits() method can now only be called on instructions that
have integer or vector of integer type. Previously it could be called on
any sized instruction (even if it was not particularly useful). The size
of the return value is now always the scalar size in bits (while
previously it was the type size in bits).
