This patch uses the mechanism from D62995 to strengthen the
definitions of the reduction intrinsics by letting the scalar
result/accumulator type be overloaded from the vector element type.
For example:
; The LLVM LangRef specifies that the scalar result must equal the
; vector element type, but this is not checked/enforced by LLVM.
declare i32 @llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.or.i32.v4i32(<4 x i32> %a)
This patch changes that into:
declare i32 @llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.or.v4i32(<4 x i32> %a)
Which has the type-constraint more explicit and causes LLVM to check
the result type with the vector element type.

This addresses one half of https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41635
by combining a VECREDUCE_AND/OR into VECREDUCE_UMIN/UMAX (if latter is
legal but former is not) for zero-or-all-ones boolean reductions (which
are detected based on sign bits).
