The LCSSA pass itself will not generate several redundant PHI nodes in a single
exit block. However, such redundant PHI nodes don't violate LCSSA form, and may
be introduced by passes that preserve LCSSA, and/or preserved by the LCSSA pass
itself. So, assuming a single PHI node per exit block is not safe.

We currently always vectorize induction variables. However, if an induction
variable is only used for counting loop iterations or computing addresses with
getelementptr instructions, we don't need to do this. Vectorizing these trivial
induction variables can create vector code that is difficult to simplify later
on. This is especially true when the unroll factor is greater than one, and we
create vector arithmetic when computing step vectors. With this patch, we check
if an induction variable is only used for counting iterations or computing
addresses, and if so, scalarize the arithmetic when computing step vectors
instead. This allows for greater simplification.
This patch addresses the suboptimal pointer arithmetic sequence seen in
PR27881.

r272715 broke libcxx because it did not correctly handle cases where the
last iteration of one IV is the second-to-last iteration of another.
Original commit message:
Vectorizing loops with "escaping" IVs has been disabled since r190790, due to
PR17179. This re-enables it, with support for external use of both
"post-increment" (last iteration) and "pre-increment" (second-to-last iteration)
IVs.
