Handle VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR for variable-length vectors
This patch handles VIEW_CONVERT_EXPRs of variable-length VECTOR_CSTs
by adding tree-level versions of native_decode_vector_rtx and
simplify_const_vector_subreg. It uses the same code for fixed-length
vectors, both to get more coverage and because operating directly on
the compressed encoding should be more efficient for longer vectors
with a regular pattern.
The structure and comments are very similar between the tree and
rtx routines.

* fold-const.c (native_encode_vector): Turn into a wrapper function,
splitting the main code out into...
(native_encode_vector_part): ...this new function.
(native_decode_vector_tree): New function.
(fold_view_convert_vector_encoding): Likewise.
(fold_view_convert_expr): Use it for converting VECTOR_CSTs
to VECTOR_TYPEs.
