Peter Maydell 29f80e7d83 target/arm: Implement MVE FP max/min across vector
Implement the MVE VMAXNMV, VMINNMV, VMAXNMAV, VMINNMAV insns.  These
calculate the maximum or minimum of floating point elements across a
vector, starting with a value in a general purpose register and
returning the result there.

The pseudocode silences a possible SNaN in the accumulating result
on every iteration (by calling FPConvertNaN), but we do it only
on the input ra, because if none of the inputs to float*_maxnum
or float*_minnum are SNaNs then the result can't be an SNaN.

Note that we can't use the float*_maxnuma() etc functions we defined
earlier for VMAXNMA and VMINNMA, because we mustn't take the absolute
value of the starting general-purpose register value, which could be
negative.
