This batch of intrinsics fills in all the shift instructions that take
a variable shift distance in a register, instead of an immediate. Some
of these instructions take a single shift distance in a scalar
register and apply it to all lanes; others take a vector of per-lane
distances.

These instructions are all basically one family, varying in whether
they saturate out-of-range values, and whether they round when bits
are shifted off the bottom. I've implemented them at the IR level by a
much smaller family of IR intrinsics, which take flag parameters to
indicate saturating and/or rounding (along with the usual one to
specify signed/unsigned integers).

An oddity is that all of them are //left// shift instructions – but if
you pass a negative shift count, they'll shift right. So the vector
shift distances are always vectors of //signed// integers, regardless
of whether you're considering the other input vector to be of signed
or unsigned. Also, even the simplest `vshlq` instruction in this
family (neither saturating nor rounding) has to be implemented as an
IR intrinsic, because the ordinary LLVM IR `shl` operation would
consider an out-of-range shift count to be undefined behavior.
