    arm: [MVE intrinsics] Add support for void and load/store pointers as argument types.
    
    This patch adds support for '_', 'al' and 'as' for void, load pointer
    and store pointer argument/return value types in intrinsic signatures.
    
    It also adds a mew memory_scalar_type() helper to function_instance,
    which is used by 'al' and 'as'.

            * config/arm/arm-mve-builtins-shapes.cc (build_const_pointer):
            New.
            (parse_type): Add support for '_', 'al' and 'as'.
            * config/arm/arm-mve-builtins.h (function_instance): Add
            memory_scalar_type.
            (function_base): Likewise.
