[RISCV] Increase default vectorizer LMUL to 2
After some discussion and experimentation, we have seen that changing the default number of vector register bits to LMUL=2 strikes a sweet spot. Whilst we could be clever here and make the vectorizer smarter about dynamically selecting an LMUL that a) Doesn't affect register pressure b) Suitable for the microarchitecture we would need to teach its heuristics about RISC-V register grouping specifics. Instead this just does the easy, pragmatic thing by changing the default to a safe value that doesn't affect register pressure signifcantly[1], but should increase throughput and unlock more interleaving.
