Daniel Henrique Barboza df4252b2ec target/riscv/vector_helpers: do early exit when vstart >= vl
We're going to make changes that will required each helper to be
responsible for the 'vstart' management, i.e. we will relieve the
'vstart < vl' assumption that helpers have today.

Helpers are usually able to deal with vstart >= vl, i.e. doing nothing
aside from setting vstart = 0 at the end, but the tail update functions
will update the tail regardless of vstart being valid or not. Unifying
the tail update process in a single function that would handle the
vstart >= vl case isn't trivial (see [1] for more info).

This patch takes a blunt approach: do an early exit in every single
vector helper if vstart >= vl, unless the helper is guarded with
vstart_eq_zero in the translation. For those cases the helper is ready
to deal with cases where vl might be zero, i.e. throwing exceptions
based on it like vcpop_m() and first_m().

Helpers that weren't changed:

- vcpop_m(), vfirst_m(), vmsetm(), GEN_VEXT_VIOTA_M(): these are guarded
  directly with vstart_eq_zero;

- GEN_VEXT_VCOMPRESS_VM(): guarded with vcompress_vm_check() that checks
  vstart_eq_zero;

- GEN_VEXT_RED(): guarded with either reduction_check() or
  reduction_widen_check(), both check vstart_eq_zero;

- GEN_VEXT_FRED(): guarded with either freduction_check() or
  freduction_widen_check(), both check vstart_eq_zero.

Another exception is vext_ldst_whole(), who operates on effective vector
length regardless of the current settings in vtype and vl.
