Log:
Allow gather loads to be used for grouped accesses

Following on from the previous patch for strided accesses, this patch
allows gather loads to be used with grouped accesses, if we otherwise
would need to fall back to VMAT_ELEMENTWISE.  However, as the comment
says, this is restricted to single-element groups for now:

	 ??? Although the code can handle all group sizes correctly,
	 it probably isn't a win to use separate strided accesses based
	 on nearby locations.  Or, even if it's a win over scalar code,
	 it might not be a win over vectorizing at a lower VF, if that
	 allows us to use contiguous accesses.

Single-element groups are an important special case though,
and this means that code is less sensitive to GCC's classification
of single accesses with constant steps as "grouped" and ones with
variable steps as "strided".

gcc/
	* tree-vectorizer.h (vect_gather_scatter_fn_p): Declare.
	* tree-vect-data-refs.c (vect_gather_scatter_fn_p): Make public.
	* tree-vect-stmts.c (vect_truncate_gather_scatter_offset): New
	function.
	(vect_use_strided_gather_scatters_p): Take a masked_p argument.
	Use vect_truncate_gather_scatter_offset if we can't treat the
	operation as a normal gather load or scatter store.
	(get_group_load_store_type): Take the gather_scatter_info
	as argument.  Try using a gather load or scatter store for
	single-element groups.
	(get_load_store_type): Update calls to get_group_load_store_type
	and vect_use_strided_gather_scatters_p.

gcc/testsuite/
	* gcc.target/aarch64/sve/reduc_strict_3.c: Expect FADDA to be used
	for double_reduc1.
	* gcc.target/aarch64/sve/strided_load_4.c: New test.
	* gcc.target/aarch64/sve/strided_load_5.c: Likewise.
