Allow targets to pick a vector prefix other than "V"

Originally the SVE port used the names for 256-bit vectors, as the
next available increment after Advanced SIMD.  However, that was
always a bit of a hack and is bound to confuse people new to the code.

Nothing actually requires vector modes to have names of the form
V<nunits><mode>, and after talking it over with the AArch64 maintainers,
we agreed to switch to things like:

    VNx16QI

instead.  This patch lets targets pick this kind of prefix.
