This is an edge case, but I don't think it's correct to RAUW a sext of i1 with 1, e.g. this test case:

```llvm
define void @i1_stride_with_sext_use(ptr noalias %p.out, ptr %p, i1 %b) {
entry:
  %stride = zext i1 %b to i64
  %e = sext i1 %b to i32
  br label %loop

loop:
  %iv = phi i64 [ 0, %entry ], [ %iv.next, %loop ]
  %mul = mul i64 %iv, %stride
  %gep = getelementptr i32, ptr %p, i64 %mul
  %v = load i32, ptr %gep, align 4
  %add = add i32 %v, %e ; GETS RAUW'd TO i32 1, SHOULD TO BE i32 -1
  %gep.out = getelementptr i32, ptr %p.out, i64 %iv
  store i32 %add, ptr %gep.out, align 4
  %iv.next = add i64 %iv, 1
  %ec = icmp eq i64 %iv.next, 128
  br i1 %ec, label %exit, label %loop

exit:
  ret void
}
```

I think we need to adjust the lambda to be something like

```c++
auto ReplaceUsesInVectorLoop = [&](Value *From, VPValue *To) { ... }
```

And then in the users() loop construct the appropriate sext/zext/trunc VPValue based off of MVConst.
