This patch proposed to use a new cost model for loop interchange, which
is obtained from loop cache analysis.
Given a loopnest, what loop cache analysis returns is a vector of loops
[loop0, loop1, loop2, ...] where loop0 should be replaced as the outermost
loop, loop1 should be placed one more level inside, and loop2 one more level
inside, etc. What loop cache analysis does is not only more comprehensive than
the current cost model, it is also a "one-shot" query which means that we only
need to query it once during the entire loop interchange pass, which is better
than the current cost model where we query it every time we check whether it is
profitable to interchange two loops. Thus complexity is reduced, especially after
D120386 where we do more interchanges to get the globally optimal loop access pattern.
Updates made to test cases are mostly minor changes and some corrections.
Test coverage for loop interchange is not reduced.
Currently we did not completely remove the legacy cost model, but keep it as
fall-back in case the new cost model did not run successfully. This is because
currently we have some limitations in delinearization, which sometimes makes
loop cache analysis bail out. The longer term goal is to enhance delinearization
and eventually remove the legacy cost model compeletely.

This patch is motivated by pr48057 where an output dependency is not detected
since loop interchange did not check a store instruction with itself.
Fixed that deficiency.

After loop interchange, the (old) outer loop header should not jump to
the `LoopExit`. Note that the old outer loop becomes the new inner loop
after interchange. If we branched to `LoopExit` then after interchange
we would jump directly from the (new) inner loop header to `LoopExit`
without executing the rest of outer loop.
This patch modifies adjustLoopBranches() such that the old outer
loop header (which becomes the new inner loop header) jumps to the
old inner loop latch which becomes the new outer loop latch after
interchange.

Instructions defined in the original inner loop preheader may depend on
values defined in the outer loop header, but the inner loop header will
become the entry block in the loop nest. Move the instructions from the
preheader to the outer loop header, so we do not break dominance. We
also have to check for unsafe instructions in the preheader. If there
are no unsafe instructions, all instructions should be movable.
Currently we move all instructions except the terminator and rely on
LICM to hoist out invariant instructions later.
Fixes PR45743
Values defined in the outer loop header could be used in the inner loop
latch. In that case, we need to create LCSSA phis for them, because after
interchanging they will be defined in the new inner loop and used in the
new outer loop.
