Summary:
On the process of moving the argument lowering handling for
half-precision floating point arguments and returns to the backend, this
patch removes the code that was responsible for handling the coercion of
those arguments in Clang's Codegen.

Summary:
I've implemented these as target-specific IR intrinsics, because
they're not //quite// enough like @llvm.experimental.vector.reduce.min
(which doesn't take the extra scalar parameter). Also this keeps the
predicated and unpredicated versions looking similar, and the
floating-point minnm/maxnm versions fold into the same schema.
We had a couple of min/max reductions already implemented, from the
initial pathfinding exercise in D67158. Those were done by having
separate IR intrinsic names for the signed and unsigned integer
versions; as part of this commit, I've changed them to use a flag
parameter indicating signedness, which is how we ended up deciding
that the rest of the MVE intrinsics family ought to work. So now
hopefully the ewhole lot is consistent.
In the new llc test, the output code from the `v8f16` test functions
looks quite unpleasant, but most of it is PCS lowering (you can't pass
a `half` directly in or out of a function). In other circumstances,
where you do something else with your `half` in the same function, it
doesn't look nearly as nasty.

This adds the `vgetq_lane` and `vsetq_lane` families, to copy between
a scalar and a specified lane of a vector.
One of the new `vgetq_lane` intrinsics returns a `float16_t`, which
causes a compile error if `%clang_cc1` doesn't get the option
`-fallow-half-arguments-and-returns`. The driver passes that option to
cc1 already, but I've had to edit all the explicit cc1 command lines
in the existing MVE intrinsics tests.
A couple of fixes are included for the code I wrote up front in
MveEmitter to support lane-index immediates (and which nothing has
tested until now): the type was wrong (`uint32_t` instead of `int`)
and the range was off by one.
I've also added a method of bypassing the default promotion to `i32`
that is done by the MveEmitter code generation: it's sensible to
promote short scalars like `i16` to `i32` if they're going to be
passed to custom IR intrinsics representing a machine instruction
operating on GPRs, but not if they're going to be passed to standard
IR operations like `insertelement` which expect the exact type.

It isn't really necessary for them to run the clang driver, and it's
more efficient not to (and also more stable against driver changes).
Now they invoke cc1 directly, more like the analogous NEON tests.

This commit sets up the infrastructure for auto-generating <arm_mve.h>
and doing clang-side code generation for the builtins it relies on,
and demonstrates that it works by implementing a representative sample
of the ACLE intrinsics, more or less matching the ones introduced in
LLVM IR by D67158,D68699,D68700.
Like NEON, that header file will provide a set of vector types like
uint16x8_t and C functions with names like vaddq_u32(). Unlike NEON,
the ACLE spec for <arm_mve.h> includes a polymorphism system, so that
you can write plain vaddq() and disambiguate by the vector types you
pass to it.
Unlike the corresponding NEON code, I've arranged to make every user-
facing ACLE intrinsic into a clang builtin, and implement all the code
generation inside clang. So <arm_mve.h> itself contains nothing but
typedefs and function declarations, with the latter all using the new
`__attribute__((__clang_builtin))` system to arrange that the user-
facing function names correspond to the right internal BuiltinIDs.
So the new MveEmitter tablegen system specifies the full sequence of
IRBuilder operations that each user-facing ACLE intrinsic should
translate into. Where possible, the ACLE intrinsics map to standard IR
operations such as vector-typed `add` and `fadd`; where no standard
representation exists, I call down to the sample IR intrinsics
introduced in an earlier commit.
Doing it like this means that you get the polymorphism for free just
by using __attribute__((overloadable)): the clang overload resolution
decides which function declaration is the relevant one, and _then_ its
BuiltinID is looked up, so by the time we're doing code generation,
that's all been resolved by the standard system. It also means that
you get really nice error messages if the user passes the wrong
combination of types: clang will show the declarations from the header
file and explain why each one doesn't match.
(The obvious alternative approach would be to have wrapper functions
in <arm_mve.h> which pass their arguments to the underlying builtins.
But that doesn't work in the case where one of the arguments has to be
a constant integer: the wrapper function can't pass the constantness
through. So you'd have to do that case using a macro instead, and then
use C11 `_Generic` to handle the polymorphism. Then you have to add
horrible workarounds because `_Generic` requires even the untaken
branches to type-check successfully, and //then// if the user gets the
types wrong, the error message is totally unreadable!)
