[PATCH] [v2] vect: Recognise high-part multiply when the wide type has no vector form

vect_recog_mulhs_pattern turns (a * b) >> N into IFN_MULH and casts the
result back to the type of the shift, which the over-widening machinery
then drops.  Building that cast needs a vector type for the wide type, and
the pattern gives up when there is none.

For a 64-bit high-part multiply the wide type is 128 bits, and no target
has a vector of 128-bit integers, so on AArch64 the pattern never fires
for scalable SVE and the loop stays scalar.  It does fire under
-msve-vector-bits=128, where the prevailing vector size is 128 bits and a
one-element TImode vector exists, which is what makes the failure specific
to variable-length vectors.

The pattern has already established that the users of the result need at
most min_output_precision bits and that NEW_TYPE holds at least that many,
so when the wide vector type is unavailable we can simply leave the result
at NEW_TYPE precision and skip the cast.

	for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
	  d[i] = (uint64_t) (((unsigned __int128) a[i] * b[i]) >> 64);

on -march=armv8.2-a+sve2 -msve-vector-bits=scalable now gives:

	ld1d	z31.d, p7/z, [x1, x4, lsl 3]
	ld1d	z30.d, p7/z, [x2, x4, lsl 3]
	umulh	z30.d, z30.d, z31.d
	st1d	z30.d, p7, [x0, x4, lsl 3]

rather than:

	ldr	x5, [x1, x4]
	ldr	x6, [x2, x4]
	umulh	x5, x5, x6
	str	x5, [x0, x4]

Added a gcc.dg/vect/ test. I've added a new vect_mulh_di effective
target and added what targets I could find that support the relevant
optab at DImode but I've only tested aarch64 myself.

Bootstrapped and regression-tested on aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Ok for trunk?
Thanks,
Kyrill

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* tree-vect-patterns.cc (vect_recog_mulhs_pattern): Keep the
	pattern result at NEW_TYPE precision when LHS_TYPE has no vector
	type.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* lib/target-supports.exp (check_effective_target_vect_mulh_di):
	New procedure.
	* gcc.dg/vect/vect-mulh-1.c: New test.
	* gcc.dg/vect/vect-mulh-2.c: New test.
	* gcc.target/aarch64/sve/mul_highpart_scalable_1.c: New test.
