Now that we have scalable vectors, there's a distinction that isn't
getting captured in the original SequentialType: some vectors don't have
a known element count, so counting the number of elements doesn't make
sense.
In some cases, there's a better way to express the commonality using
other methods. If we're dealing with GEPs, there's GEP methods; if we're
dealing with a ConstantDataSequential, we can query its element type
directly.
In the relatively few remaining cases, I just decided to write out
the type checks. We're talking about relatively few places, and I think
the abstraction doesn't really carry its weight. (See thread "[RFC]
Refactor class hierarchy of VectorType in the IR" on llvmdev.)
