This patch adds a new preheader block the VPlan to place SCEV expansions
expansions like the trip count. This preheader block is disconnected
at the moment, as the bypass blocks of the skeleton are not yet modeled
in VPlan.
The preheader block is executed before skeleton creation, so the SCEV
expansion results can be used during skeleton creation. At the moment,
the trip count expression and induction steps are expanded in the new
preheader. The remainder of SCEV expansions will be moved gradually in
the future.
D147965 will update skeleton creation to use the steps expanded in the
pre-header to fix#58811.

This patch removes CondBit and Predicate from VPBasicBlock. To do so,
the patch introduces a new branch-on-cond VPInstruction opcode to model
a branch on a condition explicitly.
This addresses a long-standing TODO/FIXME that blocks shouldn't be users
of VPValues. Those extra users can cause issues for VPValue-based
analyses that don't expect blocks. Addressing this fixme should allow us
to re-introduce 266ea446ab7476.
The generic branch opcode can also be used in follow-up patches.
Depends on D123005.

This patch updates the VPlan native path to use VPRegionBlocks for all
loops in a loop nest. Up to now, only the outermost loop used a region.
This is a step towards unifying both paths and keep things consistent
between them. It also prepares various code-gen parts for modeling the
pre-header in the inner loop vectorizer (D121624).
