This PR shows that we get the load/store_lanes logic wrong for arm big-endian.

It is tricky to get right. Aarch64 does it by adding the appropriate lane-swapping
operations during expansion.

I'd like to do the same on arm eventually, but we'd need to port and validate the VTBL-generating
code and add it to all the right places and I'm not comfortable enough doing it for GCC 8, but I am keen
in getting the wrong-code fixed.
As I say in the PR, vectorisation on armeb is already severely restricted (we disable many patterns on BYTES_BIG_ENDIAN)
and the load/store_lanes patterns really were not working properly at all, so disabling them is not
a radical approach.

The way to do that is to return false in ARRAY_MODE_SUPPORTED_P for BYTES_BIG_ENDIAN.

Bootstrapped and tested on arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.
Also tested on armeb-none-eabi.
