CNTB, CNTD, CNTH, CNTW

Set scalar to multiple of predicate constraint element count.

Determines the number of active elements implied by the named predicate constraint, multiplies that by an immediate in the range 1 to 16 inclusive, and then places the result in the scalar destination.

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.

It has encodings from 4 classes: Byte , Doubleword , Halfword and Word
