This changes the default value used for mask policy from mask undisturbed to mask agnostic. In hardware, there may be a minor preference for ta/ma, but since this is only going to apply to instructions which don't use the mask policy bit, this is functionally mostly a nop. The main value is to make future changes to using MA when legal for masked instructions easier to review by reducing test churn.
The prior code was motivated by a desire to minimize state transitions between masked and unmasked code. This patch achieves the same effect using the demanded field logic (landed in afb45ff), and there are no regressions I spotted in the test diffs. (Given the size, I have only been able to skim.) I do want to call out that regressions are possible here; the demanded analysis only works on a block local scope right now, so e.g. a tight loop mixing masked and unmasked computation might see an extra vsetvli or two.

This reverts commit 10fd2822b77e12215b4ea82fc6d0a052961eb9d9.
I have a better implementation for those operations without the
additional policy operand.
masked compare and vmsbf/vmsif/vmsof are always tail agnostic so we could
assume undef maskedoff is mask agnostic.

intrinsics.
Those operations are updated under a tail agnostic policy, but they
could have mask agnostic or undisturbed.

Instead of having a test for i32 XLen and i64 XLen, use sed to
replace iXLen with i32/i64 before running llc.
This change updates tests for intrinsics that operate exclusively
on mask values. It removes over 4000 lines worth of test content.
More merging will come in future changes.
