For instructions in uniform set, they will not have vector versions so
add them to VecValuesToIgnore.
For induction vars, those only used in uniform instructions or consecutive
ptrs instructions have already been added to VecValuesToIgnore above. For
those induction vars which are only used in uniform instructions or
non-consecutive/non-gather scatter ptr instructions, the related phi and
update will also be added into VecValuesToIgnore set.
The change will make the vector RegUsages estimation less conservative.

(This is the third attempt to check in this patch, and the first two are r255454
and r255460. The once failed test file reg-usage.ll is now moved to
test/Transform/LoopVectorize/X86 directory with target datalayout and target
triple indicated.)
LoopVectorizationCostModel::calculateRegisterUsage() is used to estimate the
register usage for specific VFs. However, it takes into account many
instructions that won't be vectorized, such as induction variables,
GetElementPtr instruction, etc.. This makes the loop vectorizer too conservative
when choosing VF. In this patch, the induction variables that won't be
vectorized plus GetElementPtr instruction will be added to ValuesToIgnore set
so that their register usage won't be considered any more.
