[CIR][AArch64] Added vector intrinsics for shift left (#187516)
Added vector intrinsics for 
vshlq_n_s8
vshlq_n_s16
vshlq_n_s32
vshlq_n_s64
vshlq_n_u8
vshlq_n_u16
vshlq_n_u32
vshlq_n_u64

vshl_n_s8
vshl_n_s16
vshl_n_s32
vshl_n_s64
vshl_n_u8
vshl_n_u16
vshl_n_u32
vshl_n_u64

these cover all the vector intrinsics for constant shift 

the method followed 

1) the vectors for quad words are of the form `64x2`, `32x4`, `16x8`,
`8x16` and the shift is a constant value but for shift left we need both
of them to be vectors so we take the constant shift and convert it into
a vector of respective form, for `64x2` we convert the constant to
`64x2`, I have learnt that this process is also called **splat**
2) After splat we have that the lhs and rhs are of the same size hence
the shift left can be applied
3) There is one issue though, the ops[0] is not of the right size, for
quad words it falls back to the default int8*16 in the function, so I am
converting it to the required size using bit casting, `8x16` = `64x2` so
we can bitcast and get the vector array in the right form.


Wrote the test cases for all the intrinsics listed above

C language Family Front-end

Welcome to Clang.

This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++ and Objective-C) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant websites. Here are some pointers:
