[LV] Add analysis remark for mixed precision conversions
Floating point conversions inside vectorized loops have performance implications but are very subtle. The user could specify a floating point constant, or call a function without realizing that it will force a change in the vector width. An example of this behaviour is seen in https://godbolt.org/z/M3nT6c . The vectorizer should indicate when this happens becuase it is most likely unintended behaviour. This patch adds a simple check for this behaviour by following floating point stores in the original loop and checking if a floating point conversion operation occurs.
