Currently, SLP vectorizer do not care about loops and their trip count.
It may lead to inefficient vectorization in some cases. Patch adds loop
nest-aware tree building and cost estimation.
When it comes to tree building, it now checks that tree do not span
across different loop nests. The nodes from other loop nests are
immediate buildvector nodes.
The cost model adds the knowledge about loop trip count. If it is
unknown, the default value is used, controlled by the
-slp-cost-loop-min-trip-count=<value> option. The cost of the vector
nodes in the loop is multiplied by the number of iteration (trip count),
because each vector node will be executed the trip count number of
times. This allows better cost estimation.
