BBVectorize would, except for loads and stores, always fuse instructions
so that the first instruction (in the current source order) would always
represent the low part of the input vectors and the second instruction
would always represent the high part. This lead to too many shuffles
being produced because sometimes the opposite order produces fewer of them.
With this change, BBVectorize tracks the kind of pair connections that form
the DAG of candidate pairs, and uses that information to reorder the pairs to
avoid excess shuffles. Using this information, a future commit will be able
to add VTTI-based shuffle costs to the pair selection procedure. Importantly,
the number of remaining shuffles can now be estimated during pair selection.
There are some trivial instruction reorderings in the test cases, and one
simple additional test where we certainly want to do a reordering to
avoid an unnecessary shuffle.

Unreachable blocks can have invalid instructions. For example,
jump threading can produce self-referential instructions in
unreachable blocks. Also, we should not be spending time
optimizing unreachable code. Fixes PR14133.

This is the initial checkin of the basic-block autovectorization pass along with some supporting vectorization infrastructure.
Special thanks to everyone who helped review this code over the last several months (especially Tobias Grosser).
