In some case the loop exit count computation can overflow. Extend the type to
prevent most of those cases.
The problem is loops like:
int main ()
{
int a = 1;
char b = 0;
lbl:
a &= 4;
b--;
if (b) goto lbl;
return a;
}
The backedge count is 255. The induction variable type is i8. If we add one to
255 to get the exit count we overflow to zero.
To work around this issue we extend the type of the induction variable to i32 in
the case of i8 and i16.

When the loop vectorizer was part of the SCC inliner pass manager gvn would
run after the loop vectorizer followed by instcombine. This way redundancy
(multiple uses) were removed and instcombine could perform scalarization on the
induction variables. Having moved the loop vectorizer to later we no longer run
any form of redundancy elimination before we perform instcombine. This caused
vectorized induction variables to survive that did not before.
On a recent iMac this helps linpack back from 6000Mflops to 7000Mflops.
This should also help lpbench and paq8p.
I ran a Release (without Asserts) build over the test-suite and did not see any
negative impact on compile time.

We used to give up if we saw two integer inductions. After this patch, we base
further induction variables on the chosen one like we do in the reverse
induction and pointer induction case.
Fixes PR15720.
