[AArch64][SME] Spill p-regs as z-regs when streaming hazards are possible (#123752)

This patch adds a new option `-aarch64-enable-zpr-predicate-spills`
(which is disabled by default), this option replaces predicate spills
with vector spills in streaming[-compatible] functions.

For example:

```
str	p8, [sp, #7, mul vl]            // 2-byte Folded Spill
// ...
ldr	p8, [sp, #7, mul vl]            // 2-byte Folded Reload
```

Becomes:

```
mov	z0.b, p8/z, #1
str	z0, [sp]                        // 16-byte Folded Spill
// ...
ldr	z0, [sp]                        // 16-byte Folded Reload
ptrue	p4.b
cmpne	p8.b, p4/z, z0.b, #0
```

This is done to avoid streaming memory hazards between FPR/vector and
predicate spills, which currently occupy the same stack area even when
the `-aarch64-stack-hazard-size` flag is set.

This is implemented with two new pseudos SPILL_PPR_TO_ZPR_SLOT_PSEUDO
and FILL_PPR_FROM_ZPR_SLOT_PSEUDO. The expansion of these pseudos
handles scavenging the required registers (z0 in the above example) and,
in the worst case spilling a register to an emergency stack slot in the
expansion. The condition flags are also preserved around the `cmpne` in
case they are live at the expansion point.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
