Tweaks to the SME2 intrinsics #278

This patch makes a few tweaks to the SME2 intrinsics:

  • The type suffix of the SME2 svread* intrinsics needs to be
    explicit (non-optional), since there is no merge input that
    can be used to infer it.

  • The zn argument to the svluti* intrinsics is a collection of
    2-bit and 4-bit quantities, so it doesn't have a natural element
    size or signedness. It seems better to keep it as svuint8_t for
    all variants.

  • Because of that, there is no argument that implies the return
    type of the svluti* intrinsics, so the type suffix needs to be
    explicit. Also, since the instruction performs a bag-of-bits
    lookup, it makes sense to have floating-point variants too.

  • The ZA slice forms of svread* and svwrite* are likewise
    bag-of-bits moves, so we can provide alternatives for all
    element types.

  • arm_neon.h shift-by-immediate instructions use an _n suffix
    to indicate that the shift amount is scalar. arm_sve.h
    carried this across to the full/non-overloaded forms of SVE
    immediate shifts. It seems worth doing the same here for
    consistency, and to protect against vector-vector forms
    being added in future.

Hi @rsandifo-arm,
Should the zn argument for the svluti4 x4 also be a svuint8_t?
