Specially, Vector API does not define the order of reduction intentionally, which allows platforms to generate more efficient codes [1]. So that needs a node to represent non strictly-ordered add-reduction for floating-point type in C2.

It also removes `UnorderedReductionNode` and adds a virtual function `bool requires_strict_order()` in `ReductionNode`. Besides `AddReductionVF/D`, other reduction nodes' `requires_strict_order()` have a fixed value.

Now that you have changed the name of the method, you should also change the `format` in all of the methods.
