arm64/sme: Identify supported SME vector lengths at boot



The vector lengths used for SME are controlled through a similar set of
registers to those for SVE and enumerated using a similar algorithm with
some slight differences due to the fact that unlike SVE there are no
restrictions on which combinations of vector lengths can be supported
nor any mandatory vector lengths which must be implemented.  Add a new
vector type and implement support for enumerating it.

One slightly awkward feature is that we need to read the current vector
length using a different instruction (or enter streaming mode which
would have the same issue and be higher cost).  Rather than add an ops
structure we add special cases directly in the otherwise generic
vec_probe_vqs() function, this is a bit inelegant but it's the only
place where this is an issue.
