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.

Optimised implementations for single and double precision, Advanced
SIMD and SVE, copied from Arm Optimized Routines.
As previously, data tables are used via a barrier to prevent
overly aggressive constant inlining. Special-case handlers are
marked NOINLINE to avoid incurring the penalty of switching call
standards unnecessarily.

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.
