[LV] Support invariant addresses in speculation logic

Summary

Implement a TODO from rL371452, and handle loop invariant addresses in predicated blocks. If we can prove that the load is safe to speculate into the header, then we can avoid using a masked.load in favour of a normal load.

This is mostly about vectorization robustness. In the common case, it's expected that LICM/LoadStorePromotion would have eliminated such loads entirely.

Rebase after moving code to Loads.cpp

Thanks, just a minor nit.

Note that LICM'ing a uniform load may require introducing a 1st-order recurrence phi due to a subsequent store to same uniform address, as noted e.g. in the last test added by @anna in D54538.

nit: simply check if (EltSize != Step->getAPInt())? Admittedly relevant to previous patch, but seems more evident now.
