> Based on [1], this patch adds the C2 compiler mid-end changes for the masking feature support. It mainly contains:
>  1) Generation of the mask IRs for vector mask, including:
>     - Mask generations, e.g. load/compare/maskAll
>     - Mask operations, e.g. and/or/xor
>  2) Conversions between vector and mask after loading mask values from memory and before storing mask values into memory
>  3) Generation of the vector IRs which need the mask value as the control
>     - The mask value is appended to the original vector node's input list
> 
> With this change, the bottom type of the vector mask will be set to `"TypeVectMask"` if the platform supports the masking feature and the backend implementations are added.
> 
> Note that this patch only contains the compiler mid-end changes. The backend implementations for SVE/AVX-512 will be in the
> followed-up patches.
