kselftest/arm64: Add tests for SVE vector configuration
We provide interfaces for configuring the SVE vector length seen by processes using prctl and also via /proc for configuring the default values. Provide tests that exercise all these interfaces and verify that they take effect as expected, though at present no test fully enumerates all the possible vector lengths. A subset of this is already tested via sve-probe-vls but the /proc interfaces are not currently covered at all. In preparation for the forthcoming support for SME, the Scalable Matrix Extension, which has separately but similarly configured vector lengths which we expect to offer similar userspace interfaces for, all the actual files and prctls used are parameterised and we don't validate that the architectural minimum vector length is the minimum we see.
