This patch changes how LLVM handles the accumulator/start value
in the reduction, by never ignoring it regardless of the presence of
fast-math flags on callsites. This change introduces the following
new intrinsics to replace the existing ones:
llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.fadd -> llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.v2.fadd
llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.fmul -> llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.v2.fmul
and adds functionality to auto-upgrade existing LLVM IR and bitcode.

The scalar start/accumulator value of the fadd- and fmul reduction
should match the result type of the reduction, as well as the vector
element-type of the input vector. Although this was not explicitly
specified in the LangRef, it was taken for granted in code implementing
the reductions. The patch also fixes the LangRef by adding this
constraint.
