I really struggled to come up with a name that conveyed enough information
whilst not causing all uses to overflow the 80 char line limit. This attempt
being a shortened version of
`get[VectorType]With[Total]Size[of_the_first_operand]AndScalar[Type_of_the
second_operand]`. I'm not precious over this so suggestions are very welcome.
The downside of passing in a `TypeSize` is that I'd always have to create a new
VectorType, whereas the current implementation has an early exit for the most
common case of "casting" between fixed and scalable vectors of the same element
type.
A lesser reason was it being awkward to convert between ElementCount and
TypeSize and I wanted to avoid introducing another use of `getKnownMinValue()`.
Is this rational strong enough? or would you rather I go the `TypeSize` route?
