[SVE] Mark VectorType::getNumElements() deprecated
getNumElements() is being removed from base VectorType in order to eliminate the class of bugs in which a scalable vector is accidentally treated like a fixed length vector. Clients of this function should either call getElementCount(), and handle the case where getElementCount().isScalable() is true, or they can cast to FixedVectorType and call getNumElements() if they are sure that the vector has fixed width. Deprecated VectorType functions will be removed after the LLVM 12 branch.
