At the moment LV runs LoopSimplify and reconstructs LCSSA form after
generating the main vector loop and before generating the epilogue
vector loop.
In practice, this adds a new exit block for the scalar loop because the
middle block now also branches to the original exit block of the scalar
loop. It also requires adding a new LCSSA phi in the newly created exit
block.
This complicates things when modeling exit values in VPlan, because we
would need to update the VPlan for the epilogue loop to update the newly
created LCSSA phi node.
But none of that should be necessary, as all analysis requiring
loop-simplify form is already done at this point and LCSSA form of the
original loop is not broken.

isCandidateForEpilogueVectorization will currently return false for loops
which contain reductions. This patch removes this restriction and makes
the following changes to support epilogue vectorisation with reductions:
- `fixReduction`: If fixReduction is being called during vectorisation of the
epilogue, the phi node it creates will need to additionally carry incoming
values from the middle block of the main loop.
- `createEpilogueVectorizedLoopSkeleton`: The incoming values of the phi
created by fixReduction are updated after the vec.epilog.iter.check block
is added. The phi is also moved to the preheader of the epilogue.
- `processLoop`: The start value of any VPReductionPHIRecipes are updated before
vectorising the epilogue loop. The getResumeInstr function added to the ILV
will return the resume instruction associated with the recurrence descriptor.
