The availability of SVE should be sufficient to enable scalable
auto-vectorization.
This patch adds a new TTI interface to query the target what style of
vectorization it wants when scalable vectors are available. For other
targets than AArch64, this currently defaults to 'FixedWidthOnly'.

The default for min is changed to 1. The behaviour of -mvscale-{min,max}
in Clang is also changed such that 16 is the max vscale when targeting
SVE and no max is specified.

When targeting a specific CPU with scalable vectorization, the knowledge
of that particular CPU's vscale value can be used to tune the cost-model
and make the cost per lane less pessimistic.
If the target implements 'TTI.getVScaleForTuning()', the cost-per-lane
is calculated as:
Cost / (VScaleForTuning * VF.KnownMinLanes)
Otherwise, it assumes a value of 1 meaning that the behavior
is unchanged and calculated as:
Cost / VF.KnownMinLanes

Previously we emitted a "does not support scalable vectors"
remark for all targets whenever vectorisation is attempted. This
pollutes the output for architectures that don't support scalable
vectors and is likely confusing to the user.
Instead this patch introduces a debug message that reports when
scalable vectorisation is allowed by the target and only issues
the previous remark when scalable vectorisation is specifically
requested, for example:
#pragma clang loop vectorize_width(2, scalable)

Fixes getTypeConversion to return `TypeScalarizeScalableVector` when a scalable vector
type cannot be legalized by widening/splitting. When this is the method of legalization
found, getTypeLegalizationCost will return an Invalid cost.
The getMemoryOpCost, getMaskedMemoryOpCost & getGatherScatterOpCost functions already call
getTypeLegalizationCost and will now also return an Invalid cost for unsupported types.

This patch adds a new option to the LoopVectorizer to control how
scalable vectors can be used.
Initially, this suggests three levels to control scalable
vectorization, although other more aggressive options can be added in
the future.
The possible options are:
- Disabled: Disables vectorization with scalable vectors.
- Enabled: Vectorize loops using scalable vectors or fixed-width
vectors, but favors fixed-width vectors when the cost
is a tie.
- Preferred: Like 'Enabled', but favoring scalable vectors when the
cost-model is inconclusive.

This patch also refactors the way the feasible max VF is calculated,
although this is NFC for fixed-width vectors.
After this change scalable VF hints are no longer truncated/clamped
to a shorter scalable VF, nor does it drop the 'scalable flag' from
the suggested VF to vectorize with a similar VF that is fixed.
Instead, the hint is ignored which means the vectorizer is free
to find a more suitable VF, using the CostModel to determine the
best possible VF.

In the following loop:
void foo(int *a, int *b, int N) {
for (int i=0; i<N; ++i)
a[i + 4] = a[i] + b[i];
}
The loop dependence constrains the VF to a maximum of (4, fixed), which
would mean using <4 x i32> as the vector type in vectorization.
Extending this to scalable vectorization, a VF of (4, scalable) implies
a vector type of <vscale x 4 x i32>. To determine if this is legal
vscale must be taken into account. For this example, unless
max(vscale)=1, it's unsafe to vectorize.
For SVE, the number of bits in an SVE register is architecturally
defined to be a multiple of 128 bits with a maximum of 2048 bits, thus
the maximum vscale is 16. In the loop above it is therefore unfeasible
to vectorize with SVE. However, in this loop:
void foo(int *a, int *b, int N) {
#pragma clang loop vectorize_width(X, scalable)
for (int i=0; i<N; ++i)
a[i + 32] = a[i] + b[i];
}
As long as max(vscale) multiplied by the number of lanes 'X' doesn't
exceed the dependence distance, it is safe to vectorize. For SVE a VF of
(2, scalable) is within this constraint, since a vector of <16 x 2 x 32>
will have no dependencies between lanes. For any number of lanes larger
than this it would be unsafe to vectorize.
This patch extends 'computeFeasibleMaxVF' to legalize scalable VFs
specified as loop hints, implementing the following behaviour:
* If the backend does not support scalable vectors, ignore the hint.
* If scalable vectorization is unfeasible given the loop
dependence, like in the first example above for SVE, then use a
fixed VF.
* Accept scalable VFs if it's safe to do so.
* Otherwise, clamp scalable VFs that exceed the maximum safe VF.
