[TTI][LV] preferPredicateOverEpilogue
We have two ways to steer creating a predicated vector body over creating a scalar epilogue. To force this, we have 1) a command line option and 2) a pragma available. This adds a third: a target hook to TargetTransformInfo that can be queried whether predication is preferred or not, which allows the vectoriser to make the decision without forcing it. While this change behaves as a non-functional change for now, it shows the required TTI plumbing, usage of this new hook in the vectoriser, and the beginning of an ARM MVE implementation. I will follow up on this with: - a complete MVE implementation, see D69845. - a patch to disable this, i.e. we should respect "vector_predicate(disable)" and its corresponding loophint.
