AIR:
* `array_elem_val` is now allowed to be used with a vector as the array
type.
* New instructions: splat, vector_init
AstGen:
* The splat ZIR instruction uses coerced_ty for the ResultLoc, avoiding
an unnecessary `as` instruction, since the coercion will be performed
in Sema.
* Builtins that accept vectors now ignore the type parameter. Comment
from this commit reproduced here:
The accepted proposal #6835 tells us to remove the type parameter from
these builtins. To stay source-compatible with stage1, we still observe
the parameter here, but we do not encode it into the ZIR. To implement
this proposal in stage2, only AstGen code will need to be changed.
Sema:
* `clz` and `ctz` ZIR instructions are now handled by the same function
which accept AIR tag and comptime eval function pointer to
differentiate.
* `@typeInfo` for vectors is implemented.
* `@splat` is implemented. It takes advantage of `Value.Tag.repeated` 😎
* `elemValue` is implemented for vectors, when the index is a scalar.
Handling a vector index is still TODO.
* Element-wise coercion is implemented for vectors. It could probably
be optimized a bit, but it is at least complete & correct.
* `Type.intInfo` supports vectors, returning int info for the element.
* `Value.ctz` initial implementation. Needs work.
* `Value.eql` is implemented for arrays and vectors.
LLVM backend:
* Implement vector support when lowering `array_elem_val`.
* Implement vector support when lowering `ctz` and `clz`.
* Implement `splat` and `vector_init`.

Master branch added `try` to a bunch of testing function calls, and some
lines also had changed how to refer to the native architecture and other
`@import("builtin")` stuff.
