Support for ARM SVE and better performance for NEON #281

Wow, getting SVE support is sluggish: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/365034 🐌

How is the output generated? It is pretty much non-maintainable without the generator(s) but I realize the lack of SVE support probably means there are some external programs needed.

Yes, have seen that too -- SVE is a quite extensive and rich instruction set and with predicate support etc. it is far from trivial (and a huge effort) to define an alternative syntax that covers essentially everything. So not surprised that it's been going on for a while now.
