A few integer types in the ACLE definitions of MVE intrinsics are
given as 'int' or 'unsigned' instead of <stdint.h> fixed-size types
like uint32_t. Usually these are the ones where the size isn't that
important, such as immediate offsets in loads (which have a range
limited by the instruction encoding) or the carry flag in vadcq which
can only be 0 or 1 anyway.
With this change, <arm_mve.h> follows that exact type naming, so that
the function prototypes look identical to the ones in ACLE, instead of
replacing int and unsigned with int32_t and uint32_t.

In the code that generates Sema range checks on constant arguments, I
had a piece of code that checks the bounds specified in the Tablegen
intrinsic description against the range of the integer type being
tested. If the bounds are large enough to permit any value of the
integer type, you can omit the compile-time range check. (This case is
expected to come up in some of the bitwise operation intrinsics.)
But somehow I got my signed/unsigned check backwards (asking for the
signed min/max of an unsigned type and vice versa), and also made a
sign extension error in which a signed negative value gets
zero-extended. Now rewritten more sensibly, and it should get its
first sensible test from the next batch of intrinsics I'm planning to
add in D69791.

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!)
