This just copies the same conservative definition from mayWriteToMemory,
and enables more VPInstructions to be hoisted out in LICM.
I think this should give more accurate costs, and I was able to build
llvm-test-suite without the legacy-vplan cost model assertion going off.
This was originally done to reduce the diff for the change. Remove it
and update the remaining tests. NFC modulo reordering of incoming
values.
Clean up after https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/114292.
A more lightweight variant of
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/109193,
which dispatches to multiple exit blocks via the middle blocks.
The patch also introduces a bit of required scaffolding to enable
early-exit vectorization, including an option. At the moment, early-exit
vectorization doesn't come with legality checks, and is only used if the
option is provided and the loop has metadata forcing vectorization. This
is only intended to be used for testing during bring-up, with @david-arm
enabling auto early-exit vectorization plugging in the changes from
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/88385.

The previous simple_early_exit.ll was growing too large and difficult to
manage. Instead I've decided to refactor the tests by splitting out into
notional groups:
1. single_early_exit.ll: loops with a single uncountable exit that do
not have live-outs from the loop.
2. single_early_exit_live_outs.ll: loops with a single uncountable exit
with live-outs.
3. multi_early_exit.ll: loops with multiple early exits, i.e. a mixture
of countable and uncountable exits, but with no live-outs from the loop.
4. multi_early_exit_live_outs.ll: as above, but with live-outs.
5. single_early_exit_unsafe_ptrs.ll: loops with a single uncountable
exit, but with pointers that are not unconditionally dereferenceable.
6. unsupported_early_exit.ll: loops with uncountable exits that we
cannot yet vectorise.
7. early_exit_legality.ll: tests the debug output from
LoopVectorizationLegality to make sure we handle different scenarios
correctly.
Only the last test now requires asserts. Over time some of these tests
should start vectorising as more support is added.
I also tried to rename the multi early exit tests to make it clear there
what mixture of countable and uncountable exits are present.
