MVE includes instructions that extract an 8- or 16-bit lane from a
vector and sign-extend it into the output 32-bit GPR. `ARMInstrMVE.td`
already included isel patterns to select those instructions in
response to the `ARMISD::VGETLANEs` selection-DAG node type. But
`ARMISD::VGETLANEs` was never actually generated, because the code
that creates it was conditioned on NEON only.
It's an easy fix to enable the same code for integer MVE, and now IR
that sign-extends the result of an extractelement (whether explicitly
or as part of the function call ABI) will use `vmov.s8` instead of
`vmov.u8` followed by `sxtb`.
