[Sema][AArch64] Add semantics for arm_sve_vector_bits attribute
Summary:
This patch implements semantics for the 'arm_sve_vector_bits' type
attribute, defined by the Arm C Language Extensions (ACLE) for SVE [1].
The purpose of this attribute is to define fixed-length (VLST) versions
of existing sizeless types (VLAT).
Implemented in this patch is the the behaviour described in section 3.7.3.2
and minimal parts of sections 3.7.3.3 and 3.7.3.4, this includes:
* Defining VLST globals, structs, unions, and local variables
* Implicit casting between VLAT <=> VLST.
* Diagnosis of ill-formed conditional expressions of the form:
C ? E1 : E2
where E1 is a VLAT type and E2 is a VLST, or vice-versa. This
avoids any ambiguity about the nature of the result type (i.e is
it sized or sizeless).
* For vectors:
* sizeof(VLST) == N/8
* alignof(VLST) == 16
* For predicates:
* sizeof(VLST) == N/64
* alignof(VLST) == 2
VLSTs have the same repre...
