[SVE] Add support to vectorize_width loop pragma for scalable vectors

This patch adds support for two new variants of the vectorize_width
pragma:

1. vectorize_width(X[, fixed|scalable]) where an optional second
parameter is passed to the vectorize_width pragma, which indicates if
the user wishes to use fixed width or scalable vectorization. For
example the user can now write something like:

  #pragma clang loop vectorize_width(4, fixed)
or
  #pragma clang loop vectorize_width(4, scalable)

In the absence of a second parameter it is assumed the user wants
fixed width vectorization, in order to maintain compatibility with
existing code.
2. vectorize_width(fixed|scalable) where the width is left unspecified,
but the user hints what type of vectorization they prefer, either
fixed width or scalable.

I have implemented this by making use of the LLVM loop hint attribute:

  llvm.loop.vectorize.scalable.enable

Tests were added to

  clang/test/CodeGenCXX/pragma-loop.cpp

for both the 'fixed' and 'scalable' optional parameter.

See this thread for context: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2020-November/067262.html
