This patch adds initial support for a pointer diff based runtime check
scheme for vectorization. This scheme requires fewer computations and
checks than the existing full overlap checking, if it is applicable.

The main idea is to only check if source and sink of a dependency are
far enough apart so the accesses won't overlap in the vector loop. To do
so, it is sufficient to compute the difference and compare it to the
`VF * UF * AccessSize`. It is sufficient to check
`(Sink - Src) <u VF * UF * AccessSize` to rule out a backwards
dependence in the vector loop with the given VF and UF. If Src >=u Sink,
there is not dependence preventing vectorization, hence the overflow
should not matter and using the ULT should be sufficient.

Note that the initial version is restricted in multiple ways:

1. Pointers must only either be read or written, by a single
   instruction (this allows re-constructing source/sink for
   dependences with the available information)
 2. Source and sink pointers must be add-recs, with matching steps
 3. The step must be a constant.
 3. abs(step) == AccessSize.

Most of those restrictions can be relaxed in the future.

This reverts commit 14e3450fb57305aa9ff3e9e60687b458e43835c9.

Update tests to check runtime checks a bit more precisely.

The reversion apparently deleted the test/Transforms directory.

Will be re-reverting again.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).

This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

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".
