This patch marks the induction increment of the main induction variable
of the vector loop as NUW when not folding the tail.
If the tail is not folded, we know that End - Start >= Step (either
statically or through the minimum iteration checks). We also know that both
Start % Step == 0 and End % Step == 0. We exit the vector loop if %IV +
%Step == %End. Hence we must exit the loop before %IV + %Step unsigned
overflows and we can mark the induction increment as NUW.
This should make SCEV return more precise bounds for the created vector
loops, used by later optimizations, like late unrolling.
At the moment quite a few tests still need to be updated, but before
doing so I'd like to get initial feedback to make sure I am not missing
anything.
Note that this could probably be further improved by using information
from the original IV.

This reverts the revert commit 437f0bbcd5.
It adds a new toVPRecipeResult, which forces VPRecipeOrVPValueTy to be
constructed with a VPRecipeBase *. This should address ambiguous
constructor issues for recipe sub-types that also inherit from VPValue.
Generalize the return value of tryToCreateWidenRecipe to return either a
newly create recipe or an existing VPValue. Use this to avoid creating
unnecessary VPBlendRecipes.
Fixes PR44800.
