[SBVec] Add top-down vectorization to the unified Sandbox Vectorizer

Extend the Sandbox Vectorizer's `bottom-up-vec` pass so a single
implementation can vectorize in either direction, and add the top-down
strategy that walks def-use chains forward from a seed.

Direction selection
--------------------
The pass direction is chosen from the Region's auxiliary pass argument:
"bottom-up" (or empty, the default) and "top-down" map onto a
SchedDirection, and any other value is rejected with a fatal usage error.
The vectorizer always runs in the same direction as the scheduler.

Top-down traversal
------------------
Bottom-up starts from a seed slice (e.g. stores to consecutive addresses)
and recurses into operands. Top-down instead starts from a seed of
consecutive loads and recurses into *users*:

- vectorizeRec() registers the current bundle's vector (pre-order) before
  recursing, so instructions are marked vectorized as soon as they are
  claimed. This prevents sibling user bundles from claiming the same
  instruction and guarantees termination.
- VecUtils::getNextUserBundles() drives the walk. For each user of lane 0
  it tries to assemble a matching user for every remaining lane, requiring
  the same opcode, type, parent block, and operand-usage indices, and
  claiming each instruction at most once. Only complete bundles (one user
  per lane) are returned.
- A non-Widen legality result stops the walk down that path: the bundle is
  left scalar and no action is recorded. DiamondReuse results cannot occur
  top-down because already-vectorized users are skipped, so a bundle never
  contains an instruction already in InstrMaps.

Operand and external-use handling
---------------------------------
Because a user bundle is emitted after its operand bundle, emitVectors()
looks up each operand's vector in InstrMaps and creates a pack when the
operand was not vectorized. emitUnpacksForExternalUses() now redirects
only the genuinely external (non-vectorized) uses via replaceUsesWithIf(),
instead of a blanket replaceAllUsesWith() that would corrupt the operands
of user bundles not yet emitted. Scheduling is currently skipped for the
top-down direction (TODO).

Refactoring
-----------
Unify the two strategies to avoid code duplication: introduce a shared
BundleTy alias, move user-bundle collection into VecUtils (with unit
tests), and thread the direction through legality checks and vector
emission.
