[LowerMemIntrinsics] Optimize memset lowering (#169040)
This patch changes the memset lowering to match the optimized memcpy lowering.
The memset lowering now queries TTI.getMemcpyLoopLoweringType for a preferred
memory access type. If that type is larger than a byte, the memset is lowered
into two loops: a main loop that stores a sufficiently wide vector splat of the
SetValue with the preferred memory access type and a residual loop that covers
the remaining bytes individually. If the memset size is statically known, the
residual loop is replaced by a sequence of stores.
This improves memset performance on gfx1030 (AMDGPU) in microbenchmarks by
around 7-20x.
I'm planning similar treatment for memset.pattern as a follow-up PR.
For SWDEV-543208.
