Summary:
This patch adds support for scalable vectors in intrinsics, enabling
intrinsics such as the following to be defined:
declare <vscale x 4 x i32> @llvm.something.nxv4i32(<vscale x 4 x i32>)
Support for this is implemented by defining a new type descriptor for
scalable vectors and adding mangling support for scalable vector types
in the name mangling scheme used by 'any' types in intrinsic signatures.
Tests have been added for IRBuilder to test scalable vectors work as
expected when using intrinsics through this interface. This required
implementing an intrinsic that is explicitly defined with scalable
vectors, e.g. LLVMType<nxv4i32>, an SVE floating-point convert
intrinsic was used for this. The behaviour of the overloaded type
LLVMScalarOrSameVectorWidth with scalable vectors is tested using the
existing masked load intrinsic. Also added an .ll test to test the
Verifier catches a bad intrinsic argument when passing a fixed-width
predicate (mask) to the masked.load intrinsic where a scalable is
expected.

Reintroduces the scalable vector IR type from D32530, after it was reverted
a couple of times due to increasing chromium LTO build times. This latest
incarnation removes the walk over aggregate types from the verifier entirely,
in favor of rejecting scalable vectors in the isValidElementType methods in
ArrayType and StructType. This removes the 70% degradation observed with
the second repro tarball from PR42210.

We saw a 70% ThinLTO link time increase in Chromium for Android, see
crbug.com/978817. Sounds like more of PR42210.
