allocas in LLVM IR have a specified alignment. When that alignment is
specified, the alloca has at least that alignment at runtime.
If the specified type of the alloca has a higher preferred alignment,
SelectionDAG currently ignores that specified alignment, and increases
the alignment. It does this even if it would trigger stack realignment.
I don't think this makes sense, so this patch changes that.
I was looking into this for SVE in particular: for SVE, overaligning
vscale'ed types is extra expensive because it requires realigning the
stack multiple times, or using dynamic allocation. (This currently isn't
implemented.)
I updated the expected assembly for a couple tests; in particular, for
arg-copy-elide.ll, the optimization in question does not increase the
alignment the way SelectionDAG normally would. For the rest, I just
increased the specified alignment on the allocas to match what
SelectionDAG was inferring.

This fills in the gaps for basic MVE loads and stores, allowing unaligned
access and adding far too many tests. These will become important as
narrowing/expanding and pre/post inc are added. Big endian might still not be
handled very well, because we have not yet added bitcasts (and I'm not sure how
we want it to work yet). I've included the alignment code anyway which maps
with our current patterns. We plan to return to that later.
Code written by Simon Tatham, with additional tests from Me and Mikhail Maltsev.

This provides the low-level support to start using MVE vector types in
LLVM IR, loading and storing them, passing them to __asm__ statements
containing hand-written MVE vector instructions, and *if* you have the
hard-float ABI turned on, using them as function parameters.
(In the soft-float ABI, vector types are passed in integer registers,
and combining all those 32-bit integers into a q-reg requires support
for selection DAG nodes like insert_vector_elt and build_vector which
aren't implemented yet for MVE. In fact I've also had to add
`arm_aapcs_vfpcc` to a couple of existing tests to avoid that
problem.)
Specifically, this commit adds support for:
* spills, reloads and register moves for MVE vector registers
* ditto for the VPT predication mask that lives in VPR.P0
* make all the MVE vector types legal in ISel, and provide selection
DAG patterns for BITCAST, LOAD and STORE
* make loads and stores of scalar FP types conditional on
`hasFPRegs()` rather than `hasVFP2Base()`. As a result a few
existing tests needed their llc command lines updating to use
`-mattr=-fpregs` as their method of turning off all hardware FP
support.
