Add a VEC_SERIES rtl code

This patch adds an rtl representation of a vector linear series
of the form:

  a[I] = BASE + I * STEP

Like vec_duplicate;

- the new rtx can be used for both constant and non-constant vectors
- when used for constant vectors it is wrapped in a (const ...)
- the constant form is only used for variable-length vectors;
  fixed-length vectors still use CONST_VECTOR

At the moment the code is restricted to integer elements, to avoid
concerns over floating-point rounding.
