The cost of vector instructions has always been high under AArch64, in order to
add a high cost for inserts/extracts, shuffles and scalarization. This is a
conservative approach to limit the scope of unusual SLP vectorization where the
codegen ends up being quite poor, but has always been higher than the correct
costs would be for any specific core.
This relaxes that, reducing the vector insert/extract cost from 3 to 2. It is a
generalization of D142359 to all AArch64 cpus. The ScalarizationOverhead is
also overridden for integer vector at the same time, to remove the effect of
lane 0 being considered free for integer vectors (something that should only be
true for float when scalarizing).
The lower insert/extract cost will reduce the cost of insert, extracts,
shuffling and scalarization. The adjustments of ScalaizationOverhead will
increase the cost on integer, especially for small vectors. The end result will
be lower cost for float and long-integer types, some higher cost for some
smaller vectors. This, along with the raw insert/extract cost being lower, will
generally mean more vectorization from the Loop and SLP vectorizer.
We may end up regretting this, as that vectorization is not always profitable.
In all the benchmarking I have done this is generally an improvement in the
overall performance, and I've attempted to address the places where it wasn't
with other costmodel adjustments.

In that case, the cost for i32 and i64 should be 1 (a single EXTR
instruction). For v4i32 and v2i64 it should be 3 (USHR + SHL + ORR).
Other sizes smaller than 64 bits require an extra instruction for
conversion to i32/i64.
This recovers a SLP regression revealed by D140392.
