Simon Tatham d97b3e3e65 [ARM][MVE] Add intrinsics for immediate shifts.
Summary:
This adds the family of `vshlq_n` and `vshrq_n` ACLE intrinsics, which
shift every lane of a vector left or right by a compile-time
immediate. They mostly work by expanding to the IR `shl`, `lshr` and
`ashr` operations, with their second operand being a vector splat of
the immediate.

There's a fiddly special case, though. ACLE specifies that the
immediate in `vshrq_n` can take values up to //and including// the bit
size of the vector lane. But LLVM IR thinks that shifting right by the
full size of the lane is UB, and feels free to replace the `lshr` with
an `undef` half way through the optimization pipeline. Hence, to keep
this legal in source code, I have to detect it at codegen time.
Logical (unsigned) right shifts by the element size are handled by
simply emitting the zero vector; arithmetic ones are converted into a
shift of one bit less, which will always give the same output.

In order to do that check, I also had to enhance the tablegen
MveEmitter so that it can cope with converting a builtin function's
operand into a bare integer to pass to a code-generating subfunction.
Previously the only bare integers it knew how to handle were flags
generated from within `arm_mve.td`.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang development mailing list:
