      Prepare the code base to enable exploitation of the vector instructions which were newly introduced with z13 a while ago.
      This preparation task provides
       - definitions of the newly introduced vector registers
       - instruction definitions (vector support instructions and vector integer instructions only)
       - basic instruction emitters (vector support instructions and vector integer instructions only)
      This preparation task does NOT provide
       - any support for vector string instructions
       - any support for vector float instructions
       - any exploitation code that will result in vector instructions being generated.
