We build up the input to IFN_STORE_LANES one vector at a time.
In RTL, each of these vector assignments becomes a write to
subregs of the form (subreg:VEC (reg:AGGR R)), where R is the
eventual input to the store lanes instruction.  The problem is
that RTL isn't very good at tracking liveness when things are
initialised piecemeal by subregs, so R tends to end up being
live on all paths from the entry block to the store.  This in
turn leads to unnecessary spilling around calls, as well as to
excess register pressure in vector loops.

This patch adds gimple clobbers to indicate the liveness of the
IFN_STORE_LANES variable and makes sure that gimple clobbers are
expanded to rtl clobbers where useful.  For consistency it also
uses clobbers to mark the point at which an IFN_LOAD_LANES
variable is no longer needed.

Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu (with and without SVE), aaarch64_be-elf
and x86_64-linux-gnu.  OK to install?

Thanks,
Richard
