Subject: [PATCH] [SLPVectorizer] Widen constant strided loads.
Given a set of pointers, check if they can be rearranged as follows (%s is a constant):
%b + 0 * %s + 0
%b + 0 * %s + 1
%b + 0 * %s + 2
...
%b + 0 * %s + w
%b + 1 * %s + 0
%b + 1 * %s + 1
%b + 1 * %s + 2
...
%b + 1 * %s + w
...
If the pointers can be rearanged in the above pattern, it means that the
memory can be accessed with a strided loads of width `w` and stride `%s`.
