[LoopVectorize] Add cost of generating tail-folding mask to the loop (#130565)

At the moment if we decide to enable tail-folding we do not include
the cost of generating the mask per VF. This can mean we make some
poor choices of VF, which is definitely true for SVE-enabled AArch64
targets where mask generation for fixed-width vectors is more
expensive than for scalable vectors.

I've added a VPInstruction::computeCost function to return the costs
of the ActiveLaneMask and ExplicitVectorLength operations.
Unfortunately, in order to prevent asserts firing I've also had to
duplicate the same code in the legacy cost model to make sure the
chosen VFs match up. I've wrapped this up in a ifndef NDEBUG for
now. The alternative would be to disable the assert completely when
tail-folding, which I imagine is just as bad.

New tests added:

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
