[ARM] MVE Masked loads and stores

Masked loads and store fit naturally with MVE, the instructions being easily
predicated. This adds lowering for the simple cases of masked loads and stores.
It does not yet deal with widening/narrowing or pre/post inc.

The llvm masked load intrinsic will accept a "passthru" value, dictating the
values used for the zero masked lanes. In MVE the instructions write 0 to the
zero predicated lanes, so we need to match a passthru that isn't 0 (or undef)
with a select instruction to pull in the correct data after the load.

We also need to do something with unaligned loads/stores. Currently this uses a
similar method used in big endian, using an VLDRB.8 (and potentially a VREV in
BE). This does mean that the predicate mask is converted from, for example, a
v4i1 to a v16i1. The VLDR instructions are defined as using the first bit of
the relevant mask lane, so this could potentially load different results if the
predicate is little odd. As the input is a v4i1 however, I believe this is OK
and all the bits required should be set in the predicate, making the VLDRB.8
load the same data.
