Initialise predicate from named constraint
Set elements of the destination predicate to true if the element number satisfies the named predicate constraint, or to false otherwise. If the constraint specifies more elements than are available at the current vector length then all elements of the destination predicate are set to false.
The named predicate constraint limits the number of active elements in a single predicate to:
* A fixed number (VL1 to VL256)
* The largest power of two (POW2)
* The largest multiple of three or four (MUL3 or MUL4)
* All available, implicitly a multiple of two (ALL).
Unspecified or out of range constraint encodings generate an empty predicate or zero element count rather than Undefined Instruction exception. Does not set the condition flags.
