Unlike scalar operations, we can perform vector operations on element types that
are smaller than the native integer types. We type-promote scalar operations if
they are smaller than a native type (e.g., i8 arithmetic is promoted to i32
arithmetic on Arm targets). This patch detects and removes type-promotions
within the reduction detection framework, enabling the vectorization of small
size reductions.
In the legality phase, we look through the ANDs and extensions that InstCombine
creates during promotion, keeping track of the smaller type. In the
profitability phase, we use the smaller type and ignore the ANDs and extensions
in the cost model. Finally, in the code generation phase, we truncate the result
of the reduction to allow InstCombine to rewrite the entire expression in the
smaller type.
This fixes PR21369.

... and move it into LoopUtils where it can be used by other passes, just like ReductionDescriptor. The API is very similar to ReductionDescriptor - that is, not very nice at all. Sorting these both out will come in a followup.

This patch moves the verification of fast-math to just before vectorization is done. This way we can tell clang to append the command line options would that allow floating-point commutativity. Specifically those are enableing fast-math or specifying a loop hint.

A reduction is a special kind of recurrence. In the loop vectorizer we currently
identify basic reductions. Future patches will extend this to identifying basic
recurrences.

isInductionPHI wants to calculate the stride based on the pointee size.
However, this is not possible when the pointee is zero sized.
