Jonas Paulsson 43d439da88 [LoopVectorizer, TTI] New method supportsEfficientVectorElementLoadStore()
Since SystemZ supports vector element load/store instructions, there is no
need for extracts/inserts if a vector load/store gets scalarized.

This patch lets Target specify that it supports such instructions by means of
a new TTI hook that defaults to false.

The use for this is in the LoopVectorizer getScalarizationOverhead() method,
which will with this patch produce a smaller sum for a vector load/store on
SystemZ.

New test: test/Transforms/LoopVectorize/SystemZ/load-store-scalarization-cost.ll

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

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))
