[ARM] Split large truncating MVE stores

MVE does not have a simple sign extend instruction that can move elements
across lanes. We currently often end up moving each lane into and out of a GPR,
in order to get elements into the correct places. When we have a store of a
trunc (or a extend of a load), we can instead just split the store/load in two,
using the narrowing/widening load/store instructions from each half of the
vector.

This does that for stores. It happens very early in a store combine, so as to
easily detect the truncates. (It would be possible to do this later, but that
would involve looking through a buildvector of extract elements. Not impossible
but this way seemed simpler).

By enabling store combines we also get a vmovdrr combine for free, helping some
other tests.
