[PATCH] D34846: Remove Clang support for '-fvectorize-slp-aggressive' which used LLVM's basic block vectorizer. This vectorizer has had no known users for many, many years and is completely surpassed by the normal '-fvectorize-slp'-controlled SLP vectorizer in LLVM.

I'm assuming we can remove the regular flag as well. They'll just get an "unused argument" warning, which I think makes sense in this context. Do you think that we should do more? I know some people are using this flag, but I don't think many. We should remember to add something to the release notes.
