[PULL 2/5] tcg: Remove CONFIG_VECTOR16

[Richard Henderson]

The comment in tcg-runtime-gvec.c about CONFIG_VECTOR16 says that
tcg-op-gvec.c has eliminated size 8 vectors, and only passes on
multiples of 16.  This may have been true of the first few operations,
but is not true of all operations.

In particular, multiply, shift by scalar, and compare of 8- and 16-bit
elements are not expanded inline if host vector operations are not
supported.

For an x86_64 host that does not support AVX, this means that we will
fall back to the helper, which will attempt to use SSE instructions,
which will SEGV on an invalid 8-byte aligned memory operation.

This patch simply removes the CONFIG_VECTOR16 code and configuration
without further simplification.
