We previously only created a vector phi node for an induction variable if its
step had a constant integer type. However, the step actually only needs to be
loop-invariant. We only handle inductions having loop-invariant steps, so this
patch should enable vector phi node creation for all integer induction
variables that will be vectorized.

Allow vectorization when the step is a loop-invariant variable.
This is the loop example that is getting vectorized after the patch:
int int_inc;
int bar(int init, int *restrict A, int N) {
int x = init;
for (int i=0;i<N;i++){
A[i] = x;
x += int_inc;
}
return x;
}
"x" is an induction variable with *loop-invariant* step.
But it is not a primary induction. Primary induction variable with non-constant step is not handled yet.
