When in streaming mode we have the same set of SVE registers as we do in
regular SVE mode with the exception of FFR and the use of the SME vector
length. Provide signal handling for these registers by taking one of the
reserved words in the SVE signal context as a flags field and defining a
flag which is set for streaming mode. When the flag is set the vector
length is set to the streaming mode vector length and we save and
restore streaming mode data. We support entering or leaving streaming
mode based on the value of the flag but do not support changing the
vector length, this is not currently supported SVE signal handling.

We could instead allocate a separate record in the signal frame for the
streaming mode SVE context but this inflates the size of the maximal signal
frame required and adds complication when validating signal frames from
userspace, especially given the current structure of the code.

Any implementation of support for streaming mode vectors in signals will
have some potential for causing issues for applications that attempt to
handle SVE vectors in signals, use streaming mode but do not understand
streaming mode in their signal handling code, it is hard to identify a
case that is clearly better than any other - they all have cases where
they could cause unexpected register corruption or faults.
