The patch tries to make more vslidup nodes use tail agnostic. The idea comes

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.
