A uniform load is one which loads from a uniform address across all lanes. As currently implemented, we cost model such loads as if we did a single scalar load + a broadcast, but the actual lowering replicates the load once per lane.
This change tweaks the lowering to use the REPLICATE strategy by marking such loads (and the computation leading to their memory operand) as uniform after vectorization. This is a useful change in itself, but it's real purpose is to pave the way for a following change which will generalize our uniformity logic.
In review discussion, there was an issue raised with coupling cost modeling with the lowering strategy for uniform inputs. The discussion on that item remains unsettled and is pending larger architectural discussion. We decided to move forward with this patch as is, and revise as warranted once the bigger picture design questions are settled.

For IR generated by a compiler, this is really simple: you just take the
datalayout from the beginning of the file, and apply it to all the IR
later in the file. For optimization testcases that don't care about the
datalayout, this is also really simple: we just use the default
datalayout.
The complexity here comes from the fact that some LLVM tools allow
overriding the datalayout: some tools have an explicit flag for this,
some tools will infer a datalayout based on the code generation target.
Supporting this properly required plumbing through a bunch of new
machinery: we want to allow overriding the datalayout after the
datalayout is parsed from the file, but before we use any information
from it. Therefore, IR/bitcode parsing now has a callback to allow tools
to compute the datalayout at the appropriate time.
Not sure if I covered all the LLVM tools that want to use the callback.
(clang? lli? Misc IR manipulation tools like llvm-link?). But this is at
least enough for all the LLVM regression tests, and IR without a
datalayout is not something frontends should generate.
This change had some sort of weird effects for certain CodeGen
regression tests: if the datalayout is overridden with a datalayout with
a different program or stack address space, we now parse IR based on the
overridden datalayout, instead of the one written in the file (or the
default one, if none is specified). This broke a few AVR tests, and one
AMDGPU test.
Outside the CodeGen tests I mentioned, the test changes are all just
fixing CHECK lines and moving around datalayout lines in weird places.

This was reverted because of a miscompilation. At closer inspection, the
problem was actually visible in a changed llvm regression test too. This
one-line follow up fix/recommit will splat the IV, which is what we are trying
to avoid if unnecessary in general, if tail-folding is requested even if all
users are scalar instructions after vectorisation. Because with tail-folding,
the splat IV will be used by the predicate of the masked loads/stores
instructions. The previous version omitted this, which caused the
miscompilation. The original commit message was:
If tail-folding of the scalar remainder loop is applied, the primary induction
variable is splat to a vector and used by the masked load/store vector
instructions, thus the IV does not remain scalar. Because we now mark
that the IV does not remain scalar for these cases, we don't emit the vector IV
if it is not used. Thus, the vectoriser produces less dead code.
Thanks to Ayal Zaks for the direction how to fix this.

Added a separate metadata to indicate when the loop
has already been vectorized instead of setting width and count to 1.

proven larger than the loop-count
This fixes PR31098: Try to resolve statically data-dependences whose
compile-time-unknown distance can be proven larger than the loop-count,
instead of resorting to runtime dependence checking (which are not always
possible).
For vectorization it is sufficient to prove that the dependence distance
is >= VF; But in some cases we can prune unknown dependence distances early,
and even before selecting the VF, and without a runtime test, by comparing
the distance against the loop iteration count. Since the vectorized code
will be executed only if LoopCount >= VF, proving distance >= LoopCount
also guarantees that distance >= VF. This check is also equivalent to the
Strong SIV Test.

Vectorizer tests in the target-independent directory should not have a target
triple. If a test really needs to query a specific backend, it belongs in the
right target subdirectory (which "REQUIRES" the right backend). Otherwise, it
should not specify a triple.
