Revert "[LSV] Merge contiguous chains across scalar types" (#170381)

Reverts llvm/llvm-project#154069. I pointed out a number of issues
post-merge, most importantly examples of miscompiles:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/154069#issuecomment-3603854626.

While the motivation of the change is clear, I think the implementation
approach is flawed. It seems like the goal is to allow elements like
`load <2xi16>` and `load i32` to be vectorized together despite the
current algorithm not grouping them into the same equivalence classes. I
personally think that if we want to attempt this it should be a more
wholistic approach, maybe even redefining the concept of an equivalence
class. This current solution seems like it would be really hard to do
bug-free, and even if the bugs were not present, it is only able to
merge chains that happen to be adjacent to each other after
`splitChainByContiguity`, which seems like it is leaving things up to
chance whether this optimization kicks in. But we can discuss more in
the re-land. Maybe the broader approach I'm proposing is too difficult,
and a narrow optimization is worthwhile. Regardless, this should be
reverted, it needs more iteration before it is correct.

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.
