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.

Fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36796.
Implement basic legalizations (PromoteIntRes, PromoteIntOp,
ExpandIntRes, ScalarizeVecOp, WidenVecOp) for VECREDUCE opcodes.
There are more legalizations missing (esp float legalizations),
but there's no way to test them right now, so I'm not adding them.
This also includes a few more changes to make this work somewhat
reasonably:
* Add support for expanding VECREDUCE in SDAG. Usually
experimental.vector.reduce is expanded prior to codegen, but if the
target does have native vector reduce, it may of course still be
necessary to expand due to legalization issues. This uses a shuffle
reduction if possible, followed by a naive scalar reduction.
* Allow the result type of integer VECREDUCE to be larger than the
vector element type. For example we need to be able to reduce a v8i8
into an (nominally) i32 result type on AArch64.
* Use the vector operand type rather than the scalar result type to
determine the action, so we can control exactly which vector types are
supported. Also change the legalize vector op code to handle
operations that only have vector operands, but no vector results, as
is the case for VECREDUCE.
* Default VECREDUCE to Expand. On AArch64 (only target using VECREDUCE),
explicitly specify for which vector types the reductions are supported.
This does not handle anything related to VECREDUCE_STRICT_*.
