Other code uses m_vec_flags & VEC_ANY_SVE for this.

The issue info should instead be taken from vec_ops.simd_issue_info ()
in the loop below. It can vary for each entry.

I think we should instead record this during add_stmt_cost, like we do
for the other data that this function uses.
We need to drop the partial_vectors_supported_p () condition though:
enabling SVE must not make Advanced SIMD code worse. So for now,
Advanced SIMD-only code will have to suffer the missed unrolling
opportunity too.

Would be good to make this an aarch64-specific --param in case people
want to play with different values.

This should use loads + stores rather than just loads.

In principle we should also take pred_ops into account when
sve_issue_info () is nonnull, while ignoring the pred_ops associated
with loop predication (added by analyze_loop_vinfo). I guess we
should maintain two pred_op counts.
That's just a suggestion for a possible future improvement though.
It doesn't need to be done as part of this patch.
