Rearrange operations so MOV is not necessary in reduction or around

log1pf is quite register-intensive - use fewer registers for the
polynomial, and make various changes to shorten dependency chains in
parent routines. There is now no spilling with GCC 14. Accuracy moves
around a little - comments adjusted accordingly but does not require
regen-ulps.
Use the helper in log1pf as well, instead of having separate
implementations. The more accurate polynomial means special-casing can
be simplified, and the shorter dependency chain avoids the usual dance
around v0, which is otherwise difficult.
There is a small duplication of vectors containing 1.0f (or 0x3f800000) -
GCC is not currently able to efficiently handle values which fit in FMOV
but not MOVI, and are reinterpreted to integer. There may be potential
for more optimisation if this is fixed.

Reduce MOVPRFXs by using unpredicated (non-destructive) instructions
where possible. Similar to the recent change to AdvSIMD F32 logs,
adjust special-case arguments and bounds to allow for more optimal
register usage. For all 3 routines one MOVPRFX remains in the
reduction, which cannot be avoided as immediate AND and ASR are both
destructive.

Reduce MOV and MOVPRFX by improving special-case handling. Use inline
helper to duplicate the entire computation between the special- and
non-special case branches, removing the contention for z0 between x
and the return value.
Also rearrange some MLAs and MLSs - by making the multiplicand the
destination we can avoid a MOVPRFX in several cases. Also change which
constants go in the vector used for lanewise ops - the last lane is no
longer wasted.
Spotted that shift was incorrect in exp2f and exp10f, w.r.t. to the
comment that explains it. Fixed - worst-case ULP for exp2f moves
around but it doesn't change significantly for either routine.
Worst-case error for coshf increases due to passing x to exp rather
than abs(x) - updated the comment, but does not require regen-ulps.

Since the last operation is destructive, the first argument to the FMA
also has to be the first argument to the special-case in order to
avoid unnecessary MOVs. Reorder arguments and adjust special-case

Previously many routines used * to load from vector types stored
in the data table. This is emitted as ldr, which byte-swaps the
entire vector register, and causes bugs for big-endian when not
all lanes contain the same value. When a vector is to be used
this way, it has been replaced with an array and the load with an
explicit ld1 intrinsic, which byte-swaps only within lanes.
As well, many routines previously used non-standard GCC syntax
for vector operations such as indexing into vectors types with []
and assembling vectors using {}. This syntax should not be mixed
with ACLE, as the former does not respect endianness whereas the
latter does. Such examples have been replaced with, for instance,
vcombine_* and vgetq_lane* intrinsics. Helpers which only use the
GCC syntax, such as the v_call helpers, do not need changing as
they do not use intrinsics.

Compilers may emit calls to 'half-width' routines (two-lane
single-precision variants). These have been added in the form of
wrappers around the full-width versions, where the low half of the
vector is simply duplicated. This will perform poorly when one lane
triggers the special-case handler, as there will be a redundant call
to the scalar version, however this is expected to be rare at Ofast.

These were broken by the new atan2 functions, as they were only
set up for univariate functions. Arity is now detected from the
input file - this revealed a mistake that the double-precision
inputs were being used for both single- and double-precision
routines, which is now remedied.
* Transpose table layout for improved memory access
* Use half-vector special comparisons for AdvSIMD
* Improve register use near special-case branches
- Due to the presence of a function call, return value would get
mov-d out of x0 in order to facilitate PCS. By moving the final
computation after the branch this can be avoided

Use overloaded intrinsics for readability. Codegen does not

Replace the loop-over-scalar placeholder routines with optimised
implementations from Arm Optimized Routines (AOR).
Also add some headers containing utilities for aarch64 libmvec
routines, and update libm-test-ulps.
Data tables for new routines are used via a pointer with a
barrier on it, in order to prevent overly aggressive constant
inlining in GCC. This allows a single adrp, combined with offset
loads, to be used for every constant in the table.
Special-case handlers are marked NOINLINE in order to confine the
save/restore overhead of switching from vector to normal calling
standard. This way we only incur the extra memory access in the
exceptional cases. NOINLINE definitions have been moved to
math_private.h in order to reduce duplication.
AOR exposes a config option, WANT_SIMD_EXCEPT, to enable
selective masking (and later fixing up) of invalid lanes, in
order to trigger fp exceptions correctly (AdvSIMD only). This is
tested and maintained in AOR, however it is configured off at
source level here for performance reasons. We keep the
WANT_SIMD_EXCEPT blocks in routine sources to greatly simplify
the upstreaming process from AOR to glibc.

This patch enables libmvec on AArch64. The proposed change is mainly
implementing build infrastructure to add the new routines to ABI,
tests and benchmarks. I have demonstrated how this all fits together
by adding implementations for vector cos, in both single and double
precision, targeting both Advanced SIMD and SVE.
The implementations of the routines themselves are just loops over the
scalar routine from libm for now, as we are more concerned with
getting the plumbing right at this point. We plan to contribute vector
routines from the Arm Optimized Routines repo that are compliant with
requirements described in the libmvec wiki.
Building libmvec requires minimum GCC 10 for SVE ACLE. To avoid raising
the minimum GCC by such a big jump, we allow users to disable libmvec
if their compiler is too old.
Note that at this point users have to manually call the vector math
functions. This seems to be acceptable to some downstream users.

The AFP feature (Alternate floating-point behavior) was added in armv8.7 and

Currently, HWCAP2_AFP bits (bit 0, 1, 2) in FPCR are preserved when fenv is
set to default environment. This is a deviation from standard behaviour.
Clear these bits when setting the fenv to default.
There is no libc API to modify the new FPCR bits. Restoring those bits matters
if the user changed them directly.
