[ARM] MVE big endian bitcasts

This adds big endian MVE patterns for bitcasts. They are defined in llvm as
being the same as a store of the existing type and the load into the new. This
means that they have to become a VREV between the two types, working in the
same way that NEON works in big-endian. This also adds some example tests for
bigendian, showing where code is and isn't different.

The main difference, especially from a testing perspective is that vectors are
passed as v2f64, and so are VREV into and out of call arguments, and the
parameters are passed in a v2f64 format. Same happens for inline assembly where
the register class is used, so it is VREV to a v16i8.

So some of this is probably not correct yet, but it is (mostly) self-consistent
and seems to be consistent with how llvm treats vectors. The rest we can
hopefully fix later. More details about big endian neon can be found in
https://llvm.org/docs/BigEndianNEON.html.
