This patch marks the induction increment of the main induction variable
of the vector loop as NUW when not folding the tail.
If the tail is not folded, we know that End - Start >= Step (either
statically or through the minimum iteration checks). We also know that both
Start % Step == 0 and End % Step == 0. We exit the vector loop if %IV +
%Step == %End. Hence we must exit the loop before %IV + %Step unsigned
overflows and we can mark the induction increment as NUW.
This should make SCEV return more precise bounds for the created vector
loops, used by later optimizations, like late unrolling.
At the moment quite a few tests still need to be updated, but before
doing so I'd like to get initial feedback to make sure I am not missing
anything.
Note that this could probably be further improved by using information
from the original IV.

This is yet another attempt at providing support for epilogue
vectorization following discussions raised in RFC http://llvm.1065342.n5.nabble.com/llvm-dev-Proposal-RFC-Epilog-loop-vectorization-tt106322.html#none
and reviews D30247 and D88819.
Similar to D88819, this patch achieve epilogue vectorization by
executing a single vplan twice: once on the main loop and a second
time on the epilogue loop (using a different VF). However it's able
to handle more loops, and generates more optimal control flow for
cases where the trip count is too small to execute any code in vector
form.
