A VPlan contains multiple live-ins without underlying IR, like VFxUF or
VectorTripCount. Trying to infer the scalar type of those causes a crash
at the moment.
Update VPTypeAnalysis to take a VPlan in its constructor and assign
types to those live-ins up front. All those live-ins share the type of
the canonical IV.

Add a new recipe to model scalar cast instructions, without relying on
an underlying instruction.
This allows creating scalar casts, without relying on an underlying
instruction (like the current VPReplicateRecipe). The new recipe is
used to explicitly model both truncating the induction step and the
VPDerivedIVRecipe, thus simplifying both the recipe and code
needed to introduce it.
Truncating VPWidenIntOrFpInductionRecipes should also be modeled using
the new recipe, as follow-up.

This patch adds initial type inferrence for VPValues. It infers the
scalar type of a VPValue, by bottom-up traversing through defining
recipes until root nodes with known types are reached (e.g. live-ins or
load recipes). The types are then propagated top down through
operations.
This is intended as building block for a VPlan-based cost model, which
will need access to type information for VPValues/recipes.
Initial testing is done by asserting the inferred type matches the type
of the result value generated for a widen and replicate recipes.
