Changing ARMBaseTargetMachine to return ARMTargetLowering intead of
the generic one (similar to x86 code).
Tests showing which instructions were added to cast when necessary
or cost zero when not. Downcast to 16 bits are not lowered in NEON,
so costs are not there yet.

the target if it supports the different CAST types. We didn't do this
on X86 because of the different register sizes and types, but on ARM
this makes sense.

We don't have a detailed analysis on which values are vectorized and which stay scalars in the vectorized loop so we use
another method. We look at reduction variables, loads and stores, which are the only ways to get information in and out
of loop iterations. If the data types are extended and truncated then the cost model will catch the cost of the vector
zext/sext/trunc operations.
