Summary

These take a pair of vector register to compare, and a comparison type
(written in the form of an Arm condition suffix); they output a vector
of booleans in the VPR register, where predication can conveniently
use them.

Remastered patch to apply cleanly against current trunk.

Updated to rename instruction classes in line with the general MVE policy. Also improved the custom decoder function for the VCMP family, by eliminating the huge secondary switch inside it on the opcode (instead we now pass in template parameters from Tablegen, which already knew what the opcode should be) and adding a comment explaining why that function even needs to be there.

We should also check the error message which is emitted in the NOFP case, and instructions with invalid conditions (the available conditions vary with type).

Added tests for invalid condition codes, and also added custom DiagnosticStrings that improve the error messages.
