[CostModel][AArch64] Improve fixed-width vector costs for get.active.lane.mask (#89068)
When SVE is available we can lower calls to get.active.lane.mask using the SVE whilelo instruction, however in practice since vXi1 types are not legal for NEON we often end up expanding the predicate into a vector of integers, e.g. v4i1 -> v4i32. This usually happens when we have to keep the predicate live out of the block, for example when the predicate is the incoming value to a PHI node in a tail-folded vector loop. Currently in such cases the intrinsic call has a cost of 1, which is far too low when considering the extra instructions required to expand the predicate. This patch fixes that by basing the cost on the number of lane moves required for expansion. This is required for a follow-on patch that adds the cost of the intrinsic call to the vectorisation cost model, so that we can teach the vectoriser to make better choices.
