This enables subreg liveness in the arm backend when MVE is present,
which allows the register allocator to detect when subregister are
alive/dead, compared to only acting on full registers. This can helps
produce better code on MVE with the way MQPR registers are made up of
SPR registers, but is especially helpful for MQQPR and MQQQQPR
registers, where there are very few "registers" available and being able
to split them up into subregs can help produce much better code.

Summary:
In big-endian MVE, the simple vector load/store instructions (i.e.
both contiguous and non-widening) don't all store the bytes of a
register to memory in the same order: it matters whether you did a
VSTRB.8, VSTRH.16 or VSTRW.32. Put another way, the in-register
formats of different vector types relate to each other in a different
way from the in-memory formats.
So, if you want to 'bitcast' or 'reinterpret' one vector type as
another, you have to carefully specify which you mean: did you want to
reinterpret the //register// format of one type as that of the other,
or the //memory// format?
The ACLE `vreinterpretq` intrinsics are specified to reinterpret the
register format. But I had implemented them as LLVM IR bitcast, which
is specified for all types as a reinterpretation of the memory format.
So a `vreinterpretq` intrinsic, applied to values already in registers,
would code-generate incorrectly if compiled big-endian: instead of
emitting no code, it would emit a `vrev`.
To fix this, I've introduced a new IR intrinsic to perform a
register-format reinterpretation: `@llvm.arm.mve.vreinterpretq`. It's
implemented by a trivial isel pattern that expects the input in an
MQPR register, and just returns it unchanged.
In the clang codegen, I only emit this new intrinsic where it's
actually needed: I prefer a bitcast wherever it will have the right
effect, because LLVM understands bitcasts better. So we still generate
bitcasts in little-endian mode, and even in big-endian when you're
casting between two vector types with the same lane size.
For testing, I've moved all the codegen tests of vreinterpretq out
into their own file, so that they can have a different set of RUN
lines to check both big- and little-endian.

This adds some missing patterns for big endian loads/stores, allowing unaligned
loads/stores to also be selected with an extra VREV, which produces better code
than aligning through a stack. Also moves VLDR_P0 to not be LE only, and
adjusts some of the tests to show all that working.

This adds big endian MVE patterns for bitcasts. They are defined in llvm as
being the same as a store of the existing type and the load into the new. This
means that they have to become a VREV between the two types, working in the
same way that NEON works in big-endian. This also adds some example tests for
bigendian, showing where code is and isn't different.
The main difference, especially from a testing perspective is that vectors are
passed as v2f64, and so are VREV into and out of call arguments, and the
parameters are passed in a v2f64 format. Same happens for inline assembly where
the register class is used, so it is VREV to a v16i8.
So some of this is probably not correct yet, but it is (mostly) self-consistent
and seems to be consistent with how llvm treats vectors. The rest we can
hopefully fix later. More details about big endian neon can be found in
https://llvm.org/docs/BigEndianNEON.html.
