[VPlan] Fall back to scalar epilogue if possible when EVL isn't legal (#150908)

When enabling predicated vectorization by default on RISC-V, there's a
bunch of performance regressions on llvm-test-suite's LoopInterleaving
microbenchmarks:
https://lnt.lukelau.me/db_default/v4/nts/788?show_delta=yes&show_previous=yes&show_stddev=yes&show_mad=yes&show_all=yes&show_all_samples=yes&show_sample_counts=yes&show_small_diff=yes&num_comparison_runs=0&test_filter=&test_min_value_filter=&aggregation_fn=min&MW_confidence_lv=0.05&compare_to=791&baseline=730&submit=Update

Most of these regressions stem from the interleave_count pragma, which
causes EVL tail folding interleaving to be unsupported (since we don't
support unrolling with EVL)

Currently if DataWithEVL isn't legal we fall back to DataWithoutLaneMask
as the tail folding style, but this is very slow on RISC-V.

The order of performance roughly is something like:

DataWithEVL > None (scalar-epilogue) > Data[WithoutLaneMask]

So this patch tries to prevent the regressions by falling back to a
scalar epilogue where possible, i.e. the existing vectorization we have
today. Not we may still need to fall back to DataWithoutLaneMask, e.g.
if the trip count is low etc or it's forced by
-prefer-predicate-over-epilogue=predicate-dont-vectorize.

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.
