This PR shows a pathological case in which we try SLP vectorisation on
dead code.  We record that 0 bits of the result are enough to satisfy
all users (which is true), and that led to precision being 0 in:

static unsigned int
vect_element_precision (unsigned int precision)
{
  precision = 1 << ceil_log2 (precision);
  return MAX (precision, BITS_PER_UNIT);
}

ceil_log2 (0) returned 64 rather than 0, leading to 1 << 64, which is UB.

Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu, aarch64_be-elf and x86_64-linux-gnu.
OK to install?
