I foresee two uses for this:
1) It's easier to use those in debugger.
2) Once we start implementing more VPlan-to-VPlan transformations (especially
inner loop massaging stuff), using the vectorized LLVM IR as CHECK targets in
LIT test would become too obscure. I can imagine that we'd want to CHECK
against VPlan dumps after multiple transformations instead. That would be
easier with plain text dumps than with DOT format.
