This patch adds support for Arm's new vector extension SVE (Scalable Vector Extension). In contrast to other vector extensions that are supported by Eigen, SVE types are inherently *sizeless*. For the use in Eigen we fix their size at compile-time (note that this is not necessary in general, SVE is *length agnostic*). During compilation the flag `-msve-vector-bits=N` has to be set where `N` is a power of two in the range of `128`to `2048`, indicating the length of an SVE vector. Since SVE is rather young, we decided to disable it by default even if it would be available. A user has to enable it explicitly by defining `EIGEN_ARM64_USE_SVE`. This patch introduces the packet types `PacketXf` and `PacketXi` for packets of `float` and `int32_t` respectively. The size of these packets depends on the SVE vector length. E.g. if `-msve-vector-bits=512` is set, `PacketXf` will contain `512/32 = 16` elements. This MR is joint work with Miguel Tairum <miguel.tairum@arm.com>.
