This patch replaces the tight hard cut-off for the number of runtime
checks with a more accurate cost-driven approach.
The new approach allows vectorization with a larger number of runtime
checks in general, but only executes the vector loop (and runtime checks) if
considered profitable at runtime. Profitable here means that the cost-model
indicates that the runtime check cost + vector loop cost < scalar loop cost.
To do that, LV computes the minimum trip count for which runtime check cost
+ vector-loop-cost < scalar loop cost.
Note that there is still a hard cut-off to avoid excessive compile-time/code-size
increases, but it is much larger than the original limit.
The performance impact on standard test-suites like SPEC2006/SPEC2006/MultiSource
is mostly neutral, but the new approach can give substantial gains in cases where
we failed to vectorize before due to the over-aggressive cut-offs.
On AArch64 with -O3, I didn't observe any regressions outside the noise level (<0.4%)
and there are the following execution time improvements. Both `IRSmk` and `srad` are relatively short running, but the changes are far above the noise level for them on my benchmark system.

Re-apply 25fbe803d4db, with a small update to emit the right remark
class.
Original message:
[LV] Move runtime pointer size check to LVP::plan().
This removes the need for the remaining doesNotMeet check and instead
directly checks if there are too many runtime checks for vectorization
in the planner.
A subsequent patch will adjust the logic used to decide whether to
vectorize with runtime to consider their cost more accurately.
