VectorAPI Variable Shift intrinsics

[Rukmannagari, Shravya]

Hi Paul,
I changed the name from meta to op_arity. Please find the modified patch below.

Thanks,
Shravya.

It looks good, but i find the parameter meta a little too opaque, perhaps “arity" or “op_arity" would be a better name? where a 0 value means don’t care or undefined?
