This reverts commit 4ffcd4fe9a thus restoring e4df6a40da.
The only change from the original patch is to add "llvm::" before the call to empty(iterator_range). This is a speculative fix for the ambiguity reported on some builders.
This patch is a major step towards supporting multiple exit loops in the vectorizer. This patch on it's own extends the loop forms allowed in two ways:
single exit loops which are not bottom tested
multiple exit loops w/ a single exit block reached from all exits and no phis in the exit block (because of LCSSA this implies no values defined in the loop used later)
The restrictions on multiple exit loop structures will be removed in follow up patches; disallowing cases for now makes the code changes smaller and more obvious. As before, we can only handle loops with entirely analyzable exits. Removing that restriction is much harder, and is not part of currently planned efforts.
The basic idea here is that we can force the last iteration to run in the scalar epilogue loop (if we have one). From the definition of SCEV's backedge taken count, we know that no earlier iteration can exit the vector body. As such, we can leave the decision on which exit to be taken to the scalar code and generate a bottom tested vector loop which runs all but the last iteration.
The existing code already had the notion of requiring one iteration in the scalar epilogue, this patch is mainly about generalizing that support slightly, making sure we don't try to use this mechanism when tail folding, and updating the code to reflect the difference between a single exit block and a unique exit block (very mechanical).

Currently, only the following information is provided by LoopVectorizer
in the case when the CF of the loop is not legal for vectorization:
LV: Can't vectorize the instructions or CFG
LV: Not vectorizing: Cannot prove legality.
But this information is not enough for the root cause analysis; what is
exactly wrong with the loop should also be printed:
LV: Not vectorizing: The exiting block is not the loop latch.
