In the loop vectorizer cost model, we used to ignore stores/loads of a pointer
type when computing the widest type within a loop. This meant that if we had
only stores/loads of pointers in a loop we would return a widest type of 8bits
(instead of 32 or 64 bit) and therefore a vector factor that was too big.
Now, if we see a consecutive store/load of pointers we use the size of a pointer
(from data layout).
This problem occured in SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/hash.cpp (reduced
test case is the first test in vector_ptr_load_store.ll).

We ignore the cpu frontend and focus on pipeline utilization. We do this because we
don't have a good way to estimate the loop body size at the IR level.

small loops. On small loops post-loop that handles scalars (and runs slower) can take more time to execute than the
rest of the loop. This patch disables widening of loops with a small static trip count.

1. Add code to estimate register pressure.
2. Add code to select the unroll factor based on register pressure.
3. Add bits to TargetTransformInfo to provide the number of registers.

the cost of arithmetic functions. We now assume that the cost of arithmetic
operations that are marked as Legal or Promote is low, but ops that are
marked as custom are higher.

- An MVT can become an EVT when being split (e.g. v2i8 -> v1i8, the latter doesn't exist)
- Return the scalar value when an MVT is scalarized (v1i64 -> i64)
Fixes PR14639ff.

Add getCostXXX calls for different families of opcodes, such as casts, arithmetic, cmp, etc.
Port the LoopVectorizer to the new API.
The LoopVectorizer now finds instructions which will remain uniform after vectorization. It uses this information when calculating the cost of these instructions.
