This is a replacement for D101938 for inserting vsetvli
instructions where needed. This new version changes how
we track the information in such a way that we can extend
it to be aware of VL/VTYPE changes in other blocks. Given
how much it changes the previous patch, I've decided to
abandon the previous patch and post this from scratch.
For now the pass consists of a single phase that assumes
the incoming state from other basic blocks is unknown. A
follow up patch will extend this with a phase to collect
information about how VL/VTYPE change in each block and
a second phase to propagate this information to the entire
function. This will be used by a third phase to do the
vsetvli insertion.

This shrinks the immediate that isel table needs to emit for these
instructions. Hoping this allows me to change OPC_EmitInteger to
use a better variable length encoding for representing negative
numbers. Similar to what was done a few months ago for OPC_CheckInteger.
The alternative encoding uses less bytes for negative numbers, but
increases the number of bytes need to encode 64 which was a very
common number in the RISCV table due to SEW=64. By using Log2 this
becomes 6 and is no longer a problem.
The InstrEmitter can sometimes insert a copy after an IMPLICIT_DEF
before connecting it to the vector instruction. This occurs when
constrainRegClass reduces to a class with less than 4 registers.
I believe LMUL8 on masked instructions triggers this since the
result can only use the v8, v16, or v24 register group as the mask
is using v0.
