Sanjay Patel b653de1ada Rename getMaximumUnrollFactor -> getMaxInterleaveFactor; also rename option names controlling this variable.
"Unroll" is not the appropriate name for this variable. Clang already uses 
the term "interleave" in pragmas and metadata for this.

Arnold Schwaighofer 348e1b60be LoopVectorizer: Keep track of conditional store basic blocks
Before conditional store vectorization/unrolling we had only one
vectorized/unrolled basic block. After adding support for conditional store
vectorization this will not only be one block but multiple basic blocks. The
last block would have the back-edge. I updated the code to use a vector of basic
blocks instead of a single basic block and fixed the users to use the last entry
in this vector. But, I forgot to add the basic blocks to this vector!

Fixes PR18724.

Arnold Schwaighofer 18865db3c1 LoopVectorize: Support conditional stores by scalarizing
The vectorizer takes a loop like this and widens all instructions except for the
store. The stores are scalarized/unrolled and hidden behind an "if" block.

  for (i = 0; i < 128; ++i) {
    if (a[i] < 10)
      a[i] += val;
  }

  for (i = 0; i < 128; i+=2) {
    v = a[i:i+1];
    v0 = (extract v, 0) + 10;
    v1 = (extract v, 1) + 10;
    if (v0 < 10)
      a[i] = v0;
    if (v1 < 10)
      a[i] = v1;
  }

The vectorizer relies on subsequent optimizations to sink instructions into the
conditional block where they are anticipated.

The flag "vectorize-num-stores-pred" controls whether and how many stores to
handle this way. Vectorization of conditional stores is disabled per default for
now.

This patch also adds a change to the heuristic when the flag
"enable-loadstore-runtime-unroll" is enabled (off by default). It unrolls small
loops until load/store ports are saturated. This heuristic uses TTI's
getMaxUnrollFactor as a measure for load/store ports.

I also added a second flag -enable-cond-stores-vec. It will enable vectorization
of conditional stores. But there is no cost model for vectorization of
conditional stores in place yet so this will not do good at the moment.

 With a patch that slightly changes the register heuristics (by subtracting the
 induction variable on both sides of the register pressure equation, as the
 induction variable is probably not really unrolled):
