This is sort of just an MVP first draft of the C api support. This basically implements the original C++ api. This is a little better though because LLVMVectorType does not have the default IsScalable = true parameter.

I'm unsure of how much value exposing FixedVectorType and ScalableVectorType through the C api would have given the fact that everything is passed around by a LLVMTypeRef handle. This requires some more thought.

I see you’ve already abandoned the revision, but I want to say that if you wish to do this, please make a separate entry point in the C API for creating scalable vectors. We are still committed to ABI stability in the core bindings.
