    aarch64: Restore vectorisation of vld1 inputs [PR109072]

    Before GCC 12, we would vectorize:

      int32_t arr[] = { x, x, x, x };

    at -O3.  Vectorizing the store on its own is often a loss, particularly
    for integers, so g:4963079769c99c4073adfd799885410ad484cbbe suppressed it.
    This was necessary to fix regressions from enabling vectorisation at -O2,

    However, the vectorisation is important if the code subsequently loads
    from the array using vld1:

      return vld1q_s32 (arr);

    This approach of initialising an array and loading from it is the
    recommend endian-agnostic way of constructing an ACLE vector.

    As discussed in the PR notes, the general fix would be to fold the
    store and load-back to a constructor (preferably before vectorisation).
    But that's clearly not stage 4 material.

    This patch instead delays folding vld1 until after inlining and
    records which decls a vld1 loads from.  It then treats vector
    stores to those decls as free, on the optimistic assumption that
    they will be removed later.  The patch also brute-forces
    vectorization of plain constructor+store sequences, since some
    of the CPU costs make that (dubiously) expensive even when the
    store is discounted.

    Delaying folding showed that we were failing to update the vops.
    The patch fixes that too.

    Thanks to Tamar for discussion & help with testing.
