vtype_vli computes the VTYPE value with the optimal LMUL for a given
element width, tail and mask policies and a run-time vector length.
vtype_ivli does the same, but with the compile-time constant vector
length.
vwtypei and vntypei can be used to widen or narrow a VTYPE value for
use in mixed-width vector-optimised functions.
On most cases, the vector type (VTYPE) for the RISC-V Vector extension
is supplied as an immediate value, with either of the VSETVLI or
VSETIVLI instructions. There is however a third instruction VSETVL
which takes the vector type from a general purpose register. That is so
the type can be selected at run-time.
This introduces a macro to load a (valid) vector type into a register.
The syntax follows that of VSETVLI and VSETIVLI, with element size,
group multiplier, then tail and mask policies.
