Generate a single test to decide if there are enough iterations to jump to the
vectorized loop, or else go to the scalar remainder loop. This test compares the
Scalar Trip Count: if STC < VF * UF go to the scalar loop. If
requiresScalarEpilogue() holds, at-least one iteration must remain scalar; the
rest can be used to form vector iterations. So in this case the test checks
instead if (STC - 1) < VF * UF by comparing STC <= VF * UF, and going to the
scalar loop if so. Otherwise the vector loop is entered for at-least one vector
iteration.
This test covers the case where incrementing the backedge-taken count will
overflow leading to an incorrect trip count of zero. In this (rare) case we will
also avoid the vector loop and jump to the scalar loop.
This patch simplifies the existing tests and effectively removes the basic-block
originally named "min.iters.checked", leaving the single test in block
"vector.ph".

We previously only created a vector phi node for an induction variable if its
step had a constant integer type. However, the step actually only needs to be
loop-invariant. We only handle inductions having loop-invariant steps, so this
patch should enable vector phi node creation for all integer induction
variables that will be vectorized.

Allow vectorization when the step is a loop-invariant variable.
This is the loop example that is getting vectorized after the patch:
int int_inc;
int bar(int init, int *restrict A, int N) {
int x = init;
for (int i=0;i<N;i++){
A[i] = x;
x += int_inc;
}
return x;
}
"x" is an induction variable with *loop-invariant* step.
But it is not a primary induction. Primary induction variable with non-constant step is not handled yet.
