[PATCH] Improve scatter/gather cost modeling (PRs 57796/80232)


Not actually solving those testcases but currently scatters/gathers
are costed as a single vector load/store.  Micro-architectural Intel
seems to have gotten to the point (with skylake) to hide all but
the scalar loads/stores which seem to take up as many load/store
ports as expected.  I'm not expecting further improvements ontop
of that so the following patch reflects this.

When the vectorizer would open-code gathers/scatters extra cost
of vector element insertion / extraction would be accounted for
(if the CPU doesn't have scatter/gather support).

Bootstrap / regtest running on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

Any objection at this stage?

Thanks,
Richard.
