Cong Hou f26946fa52 [LoopVectorizer] Refine loop vectorizer's register usage calculator by ignoring specific instructions.
(This is the second attempt to check in this patch: REQUIRES: asserts is added
to reg-usage.ll now.)

LoopVectorizationCostModel::calculateRegisterUsage() is used to estimate the
register usage for specific VFs. However, it takes into account many
instructions that won't be vectorized, such as induction variables,
GetElementPtr instruction, etc.. This makes the loop vectorizer too conservative
when choosing VF. In this patch, the induction variables that won't be
vectorized plus GetElementPtr instruction will be added to ValuesToIgnore set
so that their register usage won't be considered any more.
