[1/11][IR] Permit load/store/alloca for struct of the same scalable vector type

This patch-set aims to simplify the existing RVV segment load/store
intrinsics to use a type that represents a tuple of vectors instead.

To achieve this, first we need to relax the current limitation for an
aggregate type to be a target of load/store/alloca when the aggregate
type contains homogeneous scalable vector types. Then to adjust the
prolog of an LLVM function during lowering to clang. Finally we
re-define the RVV segment load/store intrinsics to use the tuple types.

The pull request under the RVV intrinsic specification is
riscv-non-isa/rvv-intrinsic-doc#198

---

This is the 1st patch of the patch-set. This patch is originated from
D98169.

This patch allows aggregate type (StructType) that contains homogeneous
scalable vector types to be a target of load/store/alloca. The RFC of
this patch was posted in LLVM Discourse.
