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 fixes a crash encountered when vectorising the following loop:
void foo(float *dst, float *src, long long n) {
for (long long i = 0; i < n; i++)
dst[i] = -src[i];
}
using scalable vectors. I've added a test to
Transforms/LoopVectorize/AArch64/sve-basic-vec.ll
as well as cleaned up the other tests in the same file.

After D98856 these tests will by default break (fatal_error) if any of
the wrong interfaces are used, so there's no longer a need to have a
RUN line that checks for a warning message emitted by the compiler.
I have removed an unnecessary assert in LoopVectorizationCostModel::getInstructionCost
that prevented a cost being calculated for select instructions when using
scalable vectors. In addition, I have changed AArch64TTIImpl::getCmpSelInstrCost
to only do special cost calculations for fixed width vectors and fall
back to the base version for scalable vectors.
I have added a simple cost model test for cmps and selects:
test/Analysis/CostModel/sve-cmpsel.ll
and some simple tests that show we vectorize loops with cmp and select:
test/Transforms/LoopVectorize/AArch64/sve-basic-vec.ll
