Nikita Popov cf65b9207b [DemandedBits][BDCE] Support vectors of integers
DemandedBits and BDCE currently only support scalar integers. This
patch extends them to also handle vector integer operations. In this
case bits are not tracked for individual vector elements, instead a
bit is demanded if it is demanded for any of the elements. This matches
the behavior of computeKnownBits in ValueTracking and
SimplifyDemandedBits in InstCombine.

The getDemandedBits() method can now only be called on instructions that
have integer or vector of integer type. Previously it could be called on
any sized instruction (even if it was not particularly useful). The size
of the return value is now always the scalar size in bits (while
previously it was the type size in bits).

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
================================

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM,
a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers,
optimizers, and runtime environments.

LLVM is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of
the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.

Please see the documentation provided in docs/ for further
assistance with LLVM, and in particular docs/GettingStarted.rst for getting
started with LLVM and docs/README.txt for an overview of LLVM's
documentation setup.

If you are writing a package for LLVM, see docs/Packaging.rst for our
suggestions.
