This is yet another attempt at providing support for epilogue
vectorization following discussions raised in RFC http://llvm.1065342.n5.nabble.com/llvm-dev-Proposal-RFC-Epilog-loop-vectorization-tt106322.html#none
and reviews D30247 and D88819.
Similar to D88819, this patch achieve epilogue vectorization by
executing a single vplan twice: once on the main loop and a second
time on the epilogue loop (using a different VF). However it's able
to handle more loops, and generates more optimal control flow for
cases where the trip count is too small to execute any code in vector
form.

New C code snippet is more viable for SLP vectorization in most architectures.

official Git repository.
Remove the directions for using git-svn, and demote the prominence of
the svn instructions.
Also, fix a few other issues while I'm in there:
* Mention LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS more.
* Getting started doesn't need to mention test-suite, but should
mention clang and the other projects.
* Remove mentions of "configure", since that's long gone.
I've also adjusted a few other mentions of svn to point to github, but
have not done so comprehensively.

Following the request made in https://reviews.llvm.org/D32871, the
general documentation of the Vectorization Plan is hereby placed
under docs/Proposals.

The default behavior of -Rpass-analysis=loop-vectorizer is to report only the
first reason encountered for not vectorizing, if one is found, at which time the
vectorizer aborts its handling of the loop. This patch allows multiple reasons
for not vectorizing to be identified and reported, at the potential expense of
additional compile-time, under allowExtraAnalysis which can currently be turned
on by Clang's -fsave-optimization-record and opt's -pass-remarks-missed.
Removed from LoopVectorizationLegality::canVectorize() the redundant checking
and reporting if we CantComputeNumberOfIterations, as LAI::canAnalyzeLoop() also
does that. This redundancy is caught by a lit test once multiple reasons are
reported.
Patch initially developed by Dror Barak.

For whatever reason the usage of '^^^' and '---' adornments were
reversed compared to the "canonical" style of the LLVM docs (which is
currently "the style used in SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst"). This change
doesn't affect the document structure at all, I'm just doing it for
trivial stylistic consistency (the document content is *much* more
important---thanks Nadav for writing this up!).
Also, trim the adornments to be the same length as the section names.

Building Vectorizers.rst produces a few warnings of the form:
WARNING: Title underline too short.
Fixed by adding the extra needed dashes under the title.
