The MVE VDUP instruction take a GPR and splats into every lane of a
vector register. Unlike NEON we do not have a VDUPLANE equivalent
instruction, doing the same splat from a fp register. Previously a VDUP
to a v4f32/v8f16 would be represented as a (v4f32 VDUP f32), which
would mean the instruction pattern needs to add a COPY_TO_REGCLASS to
the GPR.
Instead this now converts that earlier during an ISel DAG combine,
converting (VDUP x) to (VDUP (bitcast x)). This can allow instruction
selection to tell that the input needs to be an i32, which in one of the
testcases allows it to use ldr (or specifically ldm) over (vldr;vmov).
Whilst being simple enough for floats, as the types sizes are the same,
these is no BITCAST equivalent for getting a half into a i32. This uses
a VMOVrh ARMISD node, which doesn't know the same tricks yet.

We were previously not necessarily favouring postinc for the MVE loads
and stores, leading to extra code prior to the loop to set up the
preinc. MVE in general can benefit from postinc (as we don't have
unrolled loops), and certain instructions like the VLD2's only post-inc
versions are available.

MVE doesn't have the range of shuffle instructions available in Neon. We
also cannot use the trick of cutting a difficult vector shuffle in half
to simplify things. Instead we need to be more careful about how we
lower shuffles.
This patch adds an extra combine that attempts to find "whole lane"
vmovs when lowering shuffles of smaller types. This helps us make some
shuffles a lot simpler, generating single lane movs for the parts that
can make use of it, falling back to the original shuffle for the rest.

Alas, using half the available vector registers in a single instruction
is just too much for the register allocator to handle. The mve-vldst4.ll
test here fails when these instructions are enabled at present. This
patch disables the generation of VLD4 and VST4 by adding a
mve-max-interleave-factor option, which we currently default to 2.
