aarch64: Fix AdvSIMD libmvec routines for big-endian



Previously many routines used * to load from vector types stored
in the data table. This is emitted as ldr, which byte-swaps the
entire vector register, and causes bugs for big-endian when not
all lanes contain the same value. When a vector is to be used
this way, it has been replaced with an array and the load with an
explicit ld1 intrinsic, which byte-swaps only within lanes.

As well, many routines previously used non-standard GCC syntax
for vector operations such as indexing into vectors types with []
and assembling vectors using {}. This syntax should not be mixed
with ACLE, as the former does not respect endianness whereas the
latter does. Such examples have been replaced with, for instance,
vcombine_* and vgetq_lane* intrinsics. Helpers which only use the
GCC syntax, such as the v_call helpers, do not need changing as
they do not use intrinsics.
