Subject: [PATCH 1/4] [LAA] Prepare to handle diff type sizes v2

The change was originally landed as 1aded51 ([LAA] Prepare to handle
diff type sizes (NFC)), but resulted in regressions, and a subsequent
crash when 56a1cbb ([LAA] Fix non-NFC parts 1aded51) was landed. This
iteration includes tests from reports, corresponding fixes, and is not
a NFC. In particular, it fixes the case of loop-guards not being applied
before checking isSafeDependenceDistance.

As depend_diff_types shows, there are several places where the
HasSameSize check can be relaxed for higher analysis precision. As a
first step, return both the source size and the sink size from
getDependenceDistanceStrideAndSize, along with a HasSameSize boolean for
the moment.
