Currently EVT is in the IR layer only because of Function.cpp needing a very small piece of the functionality of EVT::getEVTString(). The rest of EVT is used in codegen making CodeGen a better place for it.
The previous code converted a Type* to EVT and then called getEVTString. This was only expected to handle the primitive types from Type*. Since there only a few primitive types, we can just print them as strings directly.

This is used by llvm tblgen as well as by LLVM Targets, so the only
common place is Support for now. (maybe we need another target for these
sorts of things - but for now I'm at least making them correct & we can
make them better if/when people have strong feelings)

Adds MVT::ElementCount to represent the length of a
vector which may be scalable, then adds helper functions
that work with it.
