LLDB does not display SVE predicate variables (of type `svbool_t`) correctly:
1. Even with `DW_AT_bit_stride` set correctly for `svbool_t` (see #159285), LLDB reads 1 byte for an element of the predicate vector.
2. LLDB always reads 64 bits for a predicate vector implying vector length 512 bits.
For code
```C++
svbool_t pred16 = svwhilelt_b16_u32 (0u, 5u);
```
For VL = 512 bits:
```
(lldb) p/t *(uint64_t*)&pred16
(uint64_t) 0b0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000101010101
(lldb) p pred16
(bool __attribute__((ext_vector_type(8)))) (true, true, false, false, false, false, false, false)
```
For VL = 256 bits:
```
(lldb) p/t *(uint64_t*)&pred16
(uint64_t) 0b1010101010101010000001111011010000000000000000000000000101010101
(lldb) p pred16
(bool __attribute__((ext_vector_type(8)))) (true, true, false, false, true, true, true, true)
```
Notice that LLDB treats 1st byte `01010101` as `true` and then 2nd byte `00000001` as `true` while this was supposed to be several elements.
In the second example (for VL = 256 bits) LLDB reads memory beyond 32 bits of the predicate vector.
