This alters getMemoryOpCost to use the Base TargetTransformInfo version that includes some additional checks for whether extending loads are legal. This will generally have the effect of making <2 x ..> and some <4 x ..> loads/stores more expensive, which in turn should help favour larger vector factors.
Notably it alters the cost of a <4 x half>, which with the current codegen will be expensive if it is not extended.
