This patch introduces a new VPDef class, which can be used to
manage VPValues defined by recipes/VPInstructions.
The idea here is to mirror VPUser for values defined by a recipe. A
VPDef can produce either zero (e.g. a store recipe), one (most recipes)
or multiple (VPInterleaveRecipe) result VPValues.
To traverse the def-use chain from a VPDef to its users, one has to
traverse the users of all values defined by a VPDef.
VPValues now contain a pointer to their corresponding VPDef, if one
exists. To traverse the def-use chain upwards from a VPValue, we first
need to check if the VPValue is defined by a VPDef. If it does not have
a VPDef, this means we have a VPValue that is not directly defined
iniside the plan and we are done.
If we have a VPDef, it is defined inside the region by a recipe, which
is a VPUser, and the upwards def-use chain traversal continues by
traversing all its operands.
Note that we need to add an additional field to to VPVAlue to link them
to their defs. The space increase is going to be offset by being able to
remove the SubclassID field in future patches.

This refactors VPuser to not inherit from VPValue to facilitate
introducing operations that introduce multiple VPValues (e.g.
VPInterleaveRecipe).

This patch adds a new abstraction layer to VPlan and leverages it to model the planned
instructions that manipulate masks (AND, OR, NOT), introduced during predication.
The new VPValue and VPUser classes model how data flows into, through and out
of a VPlan, forming the vertices of a planned Def-Use graph. The new
VPInstruction class is a generic single-instruction Recipe that models a
planned instruction along with its opcode, operands and users. See
VectorizationPlan.rst for more details.
