Introduce prefetch-minimum stride option

Introduce prefetch-minimum stride option

This patch adds a new option to control the minimum stride, for a memory
reference, after which the loop prefetch pass may issue software prefetch
hints for. There are two motivations:

* Make the pass less aggressive, only issuing prefetch hints for bigger strides
that are more likely to benefit from prefetching. I've noticed a case in cpu2017
where we were issuing thousands of hints, for example.

* For processors that have a hardware prefetcher, like Falkor, it allows the
loop prefetch pass to defer prefetching of smaller (less than the threshold)
strides to the hardware prefetcher instead. This prevents conflicts between
the software prefetcher and the hardware prefetcher.

I've noticed considerable reduction in the number of prefetch hints and
slightly positive performance numbers. This aligns GCC and LLVM in terms of
prefetch behavior for Falkor.

The default settings should guarantee no changes for existing targets. Those
are free to tweak the settings as necessary.

	Introduce option to limit software prefetching to known constant
	strides above a specific threshold with the goal of preventing
	conflicts with a hardware prefetcher.
