[RISCV] Enable cross basic block aware vsetvli insertion

Summary

This patch extends D102737 to allow VL/VTYPE changes to be taken
into account before adding an explicit vsetvli.

We do this by using a data flow analysis to propagate VL/VTYPE
information from predecessors until we've determined a value for
every value in the function.

We use this information to determine if a vsetvli needs to be
inserted before the first vector instruction the block.

Add phase 1 and 2 on top of phase 3 with all insertion done in phase 3.

This makes phase 1 and phase 3 look very similar since we still need to
determine the basic block's effect even if we don't insert anything.

Rebase and move some common logic into a helper function.

Don't update CurInfo from predecessor in phase 3 unless we inserted a vsetvli.

Mostly just stylistic things from me at this point. I've written a similar pass before so this is surprisingly familiar.

I do also think some new MIR tests to cover this functionality would be good though.

Wee typo on informatiom

Super nit but a blank line between these functions is probably recommended.

Is there a reason not to make the constructor call setUnknown?

I was wondering if a static VSETVLIInfo::getUnknown-style function might improve some use cases. Here would just be return VSETVLIInfo::getUnknown(); for instance.

For some reason the lack of a blank line above this stands out to me.

Address spelling and style comments.
Use a reference to BlockInfo[ThisBlock] to shorten code.
Add getUnkown

I'll work on MIR tests.

Add MIR tests and some more interesting ll tests.

LGTM.

Interesting. I was kinda hoping the middle-end would hoist it, but I guess that's not possible because the intrinsic is marked as having side effects. I looked at that a while ago when a vsetvli intrinsic was preventing two identical loads on either side being merged, and was wondering if we might something less nuclear than IntrHasSideEffects, because that seems to negate IntrNoMem in useful optimizations.
