[RFC] Dynamic Vector Support (#4200)

Introduce a new concept in the IR that allows a producer to create
dynamic vector types. An IR function can now contain global value(s)
that represent a dynamic scaling factor, for a given fixed-width
vector type. A dynamic type is then created by 'multiplying' the
corresponding global value with a fixed-width type. These new types
can be used just like the existing types and the type system has a
set of hard-coded dynamic types, such as I32X4XN, which the user
defined types map onto. The dynamic types are also used explicitly
to create dynamic stack slots, which have no set size like their
existing counterparts. New IR instructions are added to access these
new stack entities.

Currently, during codegen, the dynamic scaling factor has to be
lowered to a constant so the dynamic slots do eventually have a
compile-time known size, as do spill slots.

The current lowering for aarch64 just targets Neon, using a dynamic
scale of 1.
