[AArch64] Remove use of wider vector modes

The AArch64 port defined x2, x3 and x4 vector modes that were only used
in the rtl for the AdvSIMD LD{2,3,4} patterns.  It seems unlikely that
this rtl would have led to any valid simplifications, since the values
involved were unspecs that had a different number of operands from the
non-dreg versions.  (The dreg UNSPEC_LD2 had a single operand, while
the qreg one had two operands.)

As it happened, the patterns led to invalid simplifications on big-
endian targets due to a mix-up in the operand order, see Tamar's fix
in r240271.

This patch therefore replaces the rtl patterns with dedicated unspecs.
This allows the x2, x3 and x4 modes to be removed, avoiding a clash
with 256-bit and 512-bit SVE.
