This also adds new interfaces for the fixed- and scalable case:
* LLT::fixed_vector
* LLT::scalable_vector
The strategy for migrating to the new interfaces was as follows:
* If the new LLT is a (modified) clone of another LLT, taking the
same number of elements, then use LLT::vector(OtherTy.getElementCount())
or if the number of elements is halfed/doubled, it uses .divideCoefficientBy(2)
or operator*. That is because there is no reason to specifically restrict
the types to 'fixed_vector'.
* If the algorithm works on the number of elements (as unsigned), then
just use fixed_vector. This will need to be fixed up in the future when
modifying the algorithm to also work for scalable vectors, and will need
then need additional tests to confirm the behaviour works the same for
scalable vectors.
* If the test used the '/*Scalable=*/true` flag of LLT::vector, then
this is replaced by LLT::scalable_vector.

Try to make the behavior more consistent with getGCDType, and bias
towards returning something closer to the source type whenever there's
an ambiguity.
Try harder to find a canonical unmerge type when trying to cover the
desired target type. Handle finding a compatible unmerge type for two
vectors with different element types. This will return the largest
multiple of the source vector element that will evenly divide the
target vector type.
Also make the handling mixing scalars and vectors, and prefer the
source element type as the unmerge target type.
