[ArgPromotion][Attributor] Update min-legal-vector-width when do promotion

X86 codegen uses function attribute `min-legal-vector-width` to select the proper ABI. The intention of the attribute is to reflect user's requirement when they passing or returning vector arguments. So Clang front-end will iterate the vector arguments and set `min-legal-vector-width` to the width of the maximum for both caller and callee.

It is assumed any middle end optimizations won't care of the attribute expect inlining and argument promotion.
- For inlining, we will propagate the attribute of inlined functions because the inlining functions become the newer caller.
- For argument promotion, we check the `min-legal-vector-width` of the caller and callee and refuse to promote when they don't match.

The problem comes from the optimizations' combination, as shown by https://godbolt.org/z/zo3hba8xW. The caller `foo` has two callees `bar` and `baz`. When doing argument promotion, both `foo` and `bar` has the same `min-legal-vecto...
