[ARM,MVE] Add intrinsics for scalar shifts.
This fills in the small family of MVE intrinsics that have nothing to
do with vectors: they implement bit-shift operations on 32- or 64-bit
values held in one or two general-purpose registers. Most of these
shift operations saturate if shifting left, and round to nearest if
shifting right, although LSLL and ASRL behave like ordinary shifts.
When these instructions take a variable shift count in a register,
they pay attention to its sign, so that (for example) LSLL or UQRSHLL
will shift left if given a positive number but right if given a
negative one. That makes even LSLL and ASRL different enough from
standard LLVM IR shift semantics that I couldn't see any better
alternative than to simply model the whole family as a set of
MVE-specific IR intrinsics.
(The //immediate// forms of LSLL and ASRL, on the other hand, do
behave exactly like a standard IR shift of a 64-bit value. In fact,
those forms don't have ACLE intrinsics defined at all, because you can
just write an ordinary C shift operation if you want one of those.)
The 64-bit shifts have to be instruction-selected in C++, because they
deliver two output values. But the 32-bit ones are simple enough that
I could write a DAG isel pattern directly into each Instruction
record.
