With the extra optimisations we have done, these should now be fine to
enable by default. Which is what this patch does.

We have two ways to steer creating a predicated vector body over creating a
scalar epilogue. To force this, we have 1) a command line option and 2) a
pragma available. This adds a third: a target hook to TargetTransformInfo that
can be queried whether predication is preferred or not, which allows the
vectoriser to make the decision without forcing it.
While this change behaves as a non-functional change for now, it shows the
required TTI plumbing, usage of this new hook in the vectoriser, and the
beginning of an ARM MVE implementation. I will follow up on this with:
- a complete MVE implementation, see D69845.
- a patch to disable this, i.e. we should respect "vector_predicate(disable)"
and its corresponding loophint.

Now that the vectorizer can do tail-folding (rL367592), and the ARM backend
understands MVE masked loads/stores (rL371932), it's time to add the MVE
tail-folding equivalent of the X86 tests that I added.
