Add optabs for accelerating RAW and WAR alias checks
This patch adds optabs that check whether a read followed by a write
or a write followed by a read can be divided into interleaved byte
accesses without changing the dependencies between the bytes.
This is one of the uses of the SVE2 WHILERW and WHILEWR instructions.
(The instructions can also be used to limit the VF at runtime,
but that's future work.)
