[libc++] Add assumption for align of begin and end pointers of vector. (#108961) Missing information about begin and end pointers of std::vector can lead to missed optimizations in LLVM. This patch adds alignment assumptions at the point where the begin and end pointers are loaded. If the pointers would not have the same alignment, end might never get hit when incrementing begin. See https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/101372 for a discussion of missed range check optimizations in hardened mode. Once https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/108958 lands, the created `llvm.assume` calls for the alignment should be folded into the `load` instructions, resulting in no extra instructions after InstCombine.

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