This refactors VPuser to not inherit from VPValue to facilitate
introducing operations that introduce multiple VPValues (e.g.
VPInterleaveRecipe).

This patch adds a new abstraction layer to VPlan and leverages it to model the planned
instructions that manipulate masks (AND, OR, NOT), introduced during predication.
The new VPValue and VPUser classes model how data flows into, through and out
of a VPlan, forming the vertices of a planned Def-Use graph. The new
VPInstruction class is a generic single-instruction Recipe that models a
planned instruction along with its opcode, operands and users. See
VectorizationPlan.rst for more details.
