This patch adds a mode in which the vectoriser tries each available
base vector mode and picks the one with the lowest cost. The new
behaviour is selected by autovectorize_vector_modes.
The patch keeps the current behaviour of preferring a VF of
loop->simdlen over any larger or smaller VF, regardless of costs
or target preferences.
