Sinking scalar operands into predicated-triangle regions may allow
merging regions. This patch adds a VPlan-to-VPlan transform that tries
to merge predicate-triangle regions after sinking.

The vector reduction intrinsics started life as experimental ops, so backend support
was lacking. As part of promoting them to 1st-class intrinsics, however, codegen
support was added/improved:
D58015
D90247
So I think it is safe to now remove this complication from IR.
Note that we still have an IR-level codegen expansion pass for these as discussed
in D95690. Removing that is another step in simplifying the logic. Also note that
x86 was already unconditionally forming reductions in IR, so there should be no
difference for x86.
I spot checked a couple of the tests here by running them through opt+llc and did
not see any asm diffs.
If we do find functional differences for other targets, it should be possible
to (at least temporarily) restore the shuffle IR with the ExpandReductions IR
pass.

Use -0.0 instead of 0.0 as the start value. The previous use of 0.0
was fine for all existing uses of this function though, as it is
always generated with fast flags right now, and thus nsz.
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.

The normal scheme for tail folding reductions is to use:
loop:
p = phi(0, a)
mask = ...
x = masked_load(..., mask)
a = add(x, p)
s = select(mask, a, p)
This means we need to keep the register p and a alive out of the loop, plus
the mask. On a target with predicated operations we can instead generate
the phi as p = phi(0, s). This ensures the select in the loop and we can
fold select(m, add(a, b), c) to something like a vaddt c, a, b using the
m predicate. This in turn allows us to tail predicate the entire loop.
