This patch also refactors the way the feasible max VF is calculated,
although this is NFC for fixed-width vectors.
After this change scalable VF hints are no longer truncated/clamped
to a shorter scalable VF, nor does it drop the 'scalable flag' from
the suggested VF to vectorize with a similar VF that is fixed.
Instead, the hint is ignored which means the vectorizer is free
to find a more suitable VF, using the CostModel to determine the
best possible VF.

This patch enables scalable vectorization of loops with integer/fast reductions, e.g:
```
unsigned sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
sum += a[i];
}
```
A new TTI interface, isLegalToVectorizeReduction, has been added to prevent
reductions which are not supported for scalable types from vectorizing.
If the reduction is not supported for a given scalable VF,
computeFeasibleMaxVF will fall back to using fixed-width vectorization.
