This adds support for scalable vector types - at least far enough to get basic load and store cases working. It turns out that load/store without origin tracking already worked; I apparently got that working with one of the pre patches to use TypeSize utilities and didn't notice. The code changes here are required to enable origin tracking. For origin tracking, a 4 byte value - the origin - is broadcast into a shadow region whose size exactly matches the type being accessed. This origin is only written if the shadow value is non-zero. The details of how shadow is computed from the original value being stored aren't relevant for this patch. The code changes involve two related primitives. First, we need to be able to perform that broadcast into a scalable sized memory region. This requires the use of a loop, and appropriate bound. The fixed size case optimizes with larger stores and alignment; I did not bother with that for the scalable case for now. We can optimize this codepath later if desired. Second, we need a way to test if the shadow is zero. The mechanism for this in the code is to convert the shadow value into a scalar, and then zero check that. There's an assumption that this scalar is zero exactly when all elements of the shadow value are zero. As a result, we use an OR reduction on the scalable vector. This is analogous to how e.g. an array is handled. I landed a bunch of cleanup changes to remove other direct uses of the scalar conversion to convince myself there were no other undocumented invariants.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
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.
