[LV] Using VPlan to model the vectorized code and drive its transformation

VPlan is an ongoing effort to refactor and extend the Loop Vectorizer. This
patch introduces the VPlan model into LV and uses it to represent the vectorized
code and drive the generation of vectorized IR.

In this patch VPlan models the vectorized loop body: the vectorized control-flow
is represented using VPlan's Hierarchical CFG, with predication refactored from
being a post-vectorization-step into a vectorization planning step modeling
if-then VPRegionBlocks, and generating code inline with non-predicated code. The
vectorized code within each VPBasicBlock is represented as a sequence of
Recipes, each responsible for modelling and generating a sequence of IR
instructions. To keep the size of this commit manageable the Recipes in this
patch are coarse-grained and capture large chunks of LV's code-generation logic.
The constructed VPlans are dumped in dot format under -debug.

This commit retains current vectorizer output, except for minor instruction
reorderings; see associated modifications to lit tests.

For further details on the VPlan model see docs/Proposals/VectorizationPlan.rst
and its references.
