Vgather requires must be in a packet with a store, which contradicts
the no-packets feature. As a consequence, gather/scatter could not be
used with no-packets. Relax this, and allow gather packets as exceptions
to the no-packets requirements.

This adds two features: "packets", and "nvj".
Enabling "packets" allows the compiler to generate instruction packets,
while disabling it will prevent it and disable all optimizations that
generate them. This feature is enabled by default on all subtargets.
The feature "nvj" allows the compiler to generate new-value jumps and it
implies "packets". It is enabled on all subtargets.
The exception is made for packets with endloop instructions, since they
require a certain minimum number of instructions in the packets to which
they apply. Disabling "packets" will not prevent hardware loops from
being generated.
