Under MVE a vdup will always take a gpr register, not a floating point
value. During DAG combine we convert the types to a bitcast to an
integer in an attempt to fold the bitcast into other instructions. This
is OK, but only works inside the same basic block. To do the same trick
across a basic block boundary we need to convert the type in
codegenprepare, before the splat is sunk into the loop.
This adds a convertSplatType function to codegenprepare to do that,
putting bitcasts around the splat to force the type to an integer. There
is then some adjustment to the code in shouldSinkOperands to handle the
extra bitcasts.

The MVE VDUP instruction take a GPR and splats into every lane of a
vector register. Unlike NEON we do not have a VDUPLANE equivalent
instruction, doing the same splat from a fp register. Previously a VDUP
to a v4f32/v8f16 would be represented as a (v4f32 VDUP f32), which
would mean the instruction pattern needs to add a COPY_TO_REGCLASS to
the GPR.
Instead this now converts that earlier during an ISel DAG combine,
converting (VDUP x) to (VDUP (bitcast x)). This can allow instruction
selection to tell that the input needs to be an i32, which in one of the
testcases allows it to use ldr (or specifically ldm) over (vldr;vmov).
Whilst being simple enough for floats, as the types sizes are the same,
these is no BITCAST equivalent for getting a half into a i32. This uses
a VMOVrh ARMISD node, which doesn't know the same tricks yet.

Summary:
The unpredicated case of this is trivial: the clang codegen just makes
a vector splat of the input, and LLVM isel is already prepared to
handle that. For the predicated version, I've generated a `select`
between the same vector splat and the `inactive` input parameter, and
added new Tablegen isel rules to match that pattern into a predicated
`MVE_VDUP` instruction.
