This patch adds support for two new variants of the vectorize_width
pragma:
1. vectorize_width(X[, fixed|scalable]) where an optional second
parameter is passed to the vectorize_width pragma, which indicates if
the user wishes to use fixed width or scalable vectorization. For
example the user can now write something like:
#pragma clang loop vectorize_width(4, fixed)
or
#pragma clang loop vectorize_width(4, scalable)
In the absence of a second parameter it is assumed the user wants
fixed width vectorization, in order to maintain compatibility with
existing code.
2. vectorize_width(fixed|scalable) where the width is left unspecified,
but the user hints what type of vectorization they prefer, either
fixed width or scalable.
I have implemented this by making use of the LLVM loop hint attribute:
llvm.loop.vectorize.scalable.enable
Tests were added to
clang/test/CodeGenCXX/pragma-loop.cpp
for both the 'fixed' and 'scalable' optional parameter.
See this thread for context: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2020-November/067262.html

This adds a new vectorize predication loop hint:
#pragma clang loop vectorize_predicate(enable)
that can be used to indicate to the vectoriser that all (load/store)
instructions should be predicated (masked). This allows, for example, folding
of the remainder loop into the main loop.
This patch will be followed up with D64916 and D65197. The former is a
refactoring in the loopvectorizer and the groundwork to make tail loop folding
a more general concept, and in the latter the actual tail loop folding
transformation will be implemented.

This moves everything primarily testing the functionality of -ast-dump and -ast-print into their own directory, rather than leaving the tests spread around the testing directory.
