[Hexagon] Change HVX vector predicate types from v512/1024i1 to v64/128i1

This commit removes the artificial types <512 x i1> and <1024 x i1>
from HVX intrinsics, and makes v512i1 and v1024i1 no longer legal on
Hexagon.

It may cause existing bitcode files to become invalid.

* Converting between vector predicates and vector registers must be
  done explicitly via vandvrt/vandqrt instructions (their intrinsics),
  i.e. (for 64-byte mode):
    %Q = call <64 x i1> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandvrt(<16 x i32> %V, i32 -1)
    %V = call <16 x i32> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandqrt(<64 x i1> %Q, i32 -1)

  The conversion intrinsics are:
    declare  <64 x i1> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandvrt(<16 x i32>, i32)
    declare <128 x i1> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandvrt.128B(<32 x i32>, i32)
    declare <16 x i32> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandqrt(<64 x i1>, i32)
    declare <32 x i32> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandqrt.128B(<128 x i1>, i32)
  They are all pure.

* Vector predicate values cannot be loaded/stored directly. This directly
  reflects the architecture restriction. Loading and storing or vector
  predicates must be done indirectly via vector registers and explicit
  conversions via vandvrt/vandqrt instructions.
