Removed AArch64 usage of the getMaxVScale interface, replacing it with
the vscale_range(min, max) IR Attribute.

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 just adds tests that we can vectorize loop such as these:
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
dst[i * 7] += 1;
and
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
if (cond[i])
dst[i * 7] += 1;
using scalable vectors, where we expect to use gathers and scatters in the
vectorized loop. The vector of pointers used for the gather is identical
to those used for the scatter so there should be no memory dependences.
Tests are added here:
