Francesco Petrogalli eac93757c3 [VectorUtils] API for VFShape, update VFInfo.
Summary:
This patch introduces an API to build and modify vector shapes.

The validity of a VFShape can be checked with the
`hasValidParameterList` method, which is also run in an assertion each
time a VFShape is modified.

The field VFISAKind has been moved to VFInfo under the assumption that
different ISAs can map to the same VFShape (as it can be in the case
of vector extensions with the same registers size, for example AVX and
AVX2).

Analysis Opportunities:

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
