[SVE][IR] Scalable Vector IR Type

* Adds a 'scalable' flag to VectorType
* Adds an 'ElementCount' class to VectorType to pass (possibly scalable) vector lengths, with overloaded operators.
* Modifies existing helper functions to use ElementCount
* Adds support for serializing/deserializing to/from both textual and bitcode IR formats
* Extends the verifier to reject global variables of scalable types
* Updates documentation
