The basic idea to this is that a) having a single canonical type makes CSE easier, and b) many of our transforms are inconsistent about which types we end up with based on visit order.
I'm restricting this to constants as for non-constants, we'd have to decide whether the simplicity was worth extra instructions. For constants, there are no extra instructions.
We chose the canonical type as i64 arbitrarily. We might consider changing this to something else in the future if we have cause.

When creating a splat of 0 for scalable vectors we tend to create them
with using a combination of shufflevector and insertelement, i.e.
shufflevector (<vscale x 4 x i32> insertelement (<vscale x 4 x i32> poison, i32 0, i32 0),
<vscale x 4 x i32> poison, <vscale x 4 x i32> zeroinitializer)
However, for the case of a zero splat we can actually just replace the
above with zeroinitializer instead. This makes the IR a lot simpler and
easier to read. I have changed ConstantFoldShuffleVectorInstruction to
use zeroinitializer when creating a splat of integer 0 or FP +0.0 values.

We never expect the runtime VF to be negative so we should use
the uitofp instruction instead of sitofp.

This patch updates ConstantVector::getSplat to use poison instead
of undef when using insertelement/shufflevector to splat.
This follows on from D93793.

This change moves most of `sve-inductions.ll` to non-AArch64 specific
LV tests using the `-target-supports-scalable-vectors` flag, because they're
not explicitly AArch64-specific. One test builds on AArch64-specific
knowledge regarding masked loads/stores, and remains in sve-inductions.ll.
