`+simd` and `+nosimd` are used to enable or disable NEON Instructions when compiling for ARM Targets. However, up until now, using these has not been possible. To enable this, these options are mapped to the relevant LLVM backend option (`+neon` and `-neon`) so it can be both enabled and disabled successfully by the user. Tests have been added to ensure this behaviour is maintained in the future, along with updates to existing tests as behaviour has now changed relating to the use of `+simd` and `+nosimd`. As `simd` has been mapped within the ARMTargetParser.def, support for this extension is also added for the `--print-support-extensions` command when the target is AArch32. This will print the `simd` option, along with the description that relates to the Neon feature. This previously was not possible as `simd` did not have a related Feature or Negative Feature. To make this functional as intended, MVE and MVE.FP now rely on their own Enum identifier, rather than `AEK_SIMD`. While SIMD does refer to both Neon and Helium technologies, in terms of command line options, SIMD relates to Neon. Helium relates to MVE and MVE.FP. The Enum now reflects this too.
