Paul Clarke 74b9b120f2 Consistently specify type of input in examples
Change occurrences of "An example follows" to
"An example for input _i_ of type _t_ follows",
in cases where an intrinsic has more than one possible input type.

Paul Clarke 8bdc799731 Add examples for "match" intrinsics
Add examples for
- `vec_first_match_index`
- `vec_first_match_index_or_eos`
- `vec_first_mismatch_index`
- `vec_first_mismatch_index_or_eos`

Also, `vec_first_match_index` implmentations in this document and
in GCC were behaving like `vec_first_match_or_eos_index`.
Correct this document.  GCC PR94833 was already opened.

Fixes #18.

Paul Clarke 139af543b9 Clarify content regarding operators
- Explicitly mention that there are no default conversions.
- Clarify that binary operations are on like types.
- Clarify requirements for the ternary operator and add an example.

Asserting that the clarified content is clear enough,
Fixes #11.

Paul Clarke b795cb09f7 Add example initializer for vector __int128
Since there isn't a straightforward way of initializing `__int128` type
variables, provide an example for initializing `vector __int128` here.

Paul Clarke 24953643b8 Add example for vec_bperm
vec_bperm is a challenge for showing an example using just tables,
but I've made an attempt.

Three tables are used:
- The values of the input vectors *a* and *b*.
- A zoomed in view of the last two bytes of *a* and the bit
  manipulations therein that leads to the intermediate result.
- The result vector *r*.

Only one example has been provided, but it's getting big.

Fixes #14.

Paul Clarke 79b5466581 Add headers for new examples
In the absence of sufficient context, the new examples added to:
- vec_double{e,h,l,o}
- vec_permxor
- vec_pmsum_be
- vec_slv
- vec_srv
- vec_sum2s
- vec_sum4s
- vec_sums
- vec_unsigned{e,o}
may appear to be strictly big-endian.

Add headers to these examples showing the element indicies,
which hopefully provides sufficient context.

Paul Clarke 8c13a59ceb Add example for vec_permxor
`vec_permxor` is complex enough to warrant an example.

The table used is very wide. I squeezed it more by changing the names
of `index1` and `index2` to `x` and `y`, respectively.

Note: The table may still be too wide, as some additional warnings are
now generated during `mvn generate-sources`:
```
WARNING: Line 1 of a paragraph overflows the available area by more than 50 points. (See position 1:-1)

Paul Clarke c6ff2b8812 Add examples to vec_vslv and vec_vsrv
vec_vslv and vec_vsrv are confusing in their own right and even more
so because they operate only with big-endian semantics.

Some examples are warranted.

Note that the respective examples are arranged such that the impact of
shifting in zero bits has a visible impact.

Paul Clarke 83b190f520 Fix "Vector Registers as Part of VSRs" figure scaling
The "Vector Registers as Part of VSRs" figure was very large,
especially as it immediately follows an almost identical figure.

Before this change:
fig-fpr-vsr.png: PNG image data, 663 x 300...
fig-vr-vsr.png:  PNG image data, 1367 x 608...

After this change:
fig-fpr-vsr.png: PNG image data, 663 x 300...
fig-vr-vsr.png:  PNG image data, 645 x 287...

I chose this size because the actual side boundaries of the
table most closely match in size.

The scaling, using The GIMP, resulted in somewhat blurry lines,
but still quite clear enough, and good enough.
