[llvm] [VPlan] Delay adding canonical IV increment and exit branches. (PR #82270)

[via llvm-commits]

Worth starting with delaying the introduction of canonicalIVIncrement alone, while keeping a terminating branch (existing branch-on-count or introducing some other branch, temporarily)? This seems to provide substantial incremental improvement while incurring smaller changes, i.e., w/o affecting VPlanVerifier or introducing IsAbstract.

Delaying the introduction of the loop-region-closing branch may deserve separate attention.
