When vectorising for AArch64 targets if you specify the SVE attribute
we automatically then treat masked loads and stores as legal. Also,
since we have no cost model for masked memory ops we believe it's
cheap to use the masked load/store intrinsics even for fixed width
vectors. This can lead to poor code quality as the intrinsics will
currently be scalarised in the backend. This patch adds a basic
cost model that marks fixed-width masked memory ops as significantly
more expensive than for scalable vectors.
Tests for the cost model are added here:

Introduced the cost of thre reverse shuffles for AArch64, currently just
copied the costs for PermuteSingleSrc.

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.
This patch adds support for reverse loop vectorization.
It is possible to vectorize the following loop:
```
for (int i = n-1; i >= 0; --i)
a[i] = b[i] + 1.0;
```
with fixed or scalable vector.
The loop-vectorizer will use 'reverse' on the loads/stores to make
sure the lanes themselves are also handled in the right order.
This patch adds support for scalable vector on IRBuilder interface to
create a reverse vector. The IR function
CreateVectorReverse lowers to experimental.vector.reverse for scalable vector
and keedp the original behavior for fixed vector using shuffle reverse.
