[VP,Integer,#2] ExpandVectorPredication pass

This patch implements expansion of llvm.vp.* intrinsics
(https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#vector-predication-intrinsics).

VP expansion is required for targets that do not implement VP code
generation. Since expansion is controllable with TTI, targets can switch
on the VP intrinsics they do support in their backend offering a smooth
transition strategy for VP code generation (VE, RISC-V V, ARM SVE,
AVX512, ..).
