This patch adds a linear polynomial base class, called LinearPolyBase, which
serves as a base class for StackOffset. It tries to represent a linear
polynomial like:
c0 * scale0 + c1 * scale1 + ... + cK * scaleK
where the scale is implicit, meaning that only the coefficients are
encoded.
This patch also adds a univariate linear polynomial, which serves as
a base class for ElementCount and TypeSize. This tries to represent a
linear polynomial where only one dimension can be set at any one time,
i.e. a TypeSize is either fixed-sized, or scalable-sized, but cannot be
a combination of the two.
