This PR improves the performance of vector operations that accept masks on architectures that support masking in hardware, specifically Intel AVX512 and ARM SVE.
On architectures that do not support masking in hardware the same technique as before is applied to most operations, specifically composition using blend.
Masked loads/stores are a special form of masked operation that require additional care to ensure out-of-bounds access throw exceptions. The range checking has not been fully optimized and will require further work.
No API enhancements were required and only a few additional tests were needed.
