The original algorithm only used recursive pair fusion of equal-length
types. This is now extended to allow pairing of any types that share
the same underlying scalar type. Because we would still generally
prefer the 2^n-length types, those are formed first. Then a second
set of iterations form the non-2^n-length types.
Also, a call to SimplifyInstructionsInBlock has been added after each
pairing iteration. This takes care of DCE (and a few other things)
that make the following iterations execute somewhat faster. For the
same reason, some of the simple shuffle-combination cases are now
handled internally.
There is some additional refactoring work to be done, but I've had
many requests for this feature, so additional refactoring will come
soon in future commits (as will additional test cases).

The present implementation handles only TBAA and FP metadata, discarding everything else.
For debug metadata, the current behavior is maintained (the debug metadata associated with
one of the instructions will be kept, discarding that attached to the other).
This should address PR 13040.

Target specific types should not be vectorized. As a practical matter,
these types are already register matched (at least in the x86 case),
and codegen does not always work correctly (at least in the ppc case,
and this is not worth fixing because ppc_fp128 is currently broken and
will probably go away soon).

When vectorizing pointer types it is important to realize that potential
pairs cannot be connected via the address pointer argument of a load or store.
This is because even after vectorization, the address is still a scalar because
the address of the higher half of the pair is implicit from the address of the
lower half (it need not be, and should not be, explicitly computed).

The powi intrinsic requires special handling because it always takes a single
integer power regardless of the result type. As a result, we can vectorize
only if the powers are equal. Fixes PR12364.

This allows BBVectorize to check the "unknown instruction" list in the
alias sets. This is important to prevent instruction fusing from reordering
function calls. Resolves PR11920.

By default, boost the chain depth contribution of loads and stores. This will allow a load/store pair to vectorize even when it would not otherwise be long enough to satisfy the chain depth requirement.

This is the initial checkin of the basic-block autovectorization pass along with some supporting vectorization infrastructure.
Special thanks to everyone who helped review this code over the last several months (especially Tobias Grosser).
