Initialise predicate from named constraint and set the condition flags
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:
Unspecified or out of range constraint encodings generate an empty predicate or zero element count rather than Undefined Instruction exception. Sets the First (N), None (Z), !Last (C) condition flags based on the predicate result, and the V flag to zero.

If FEAT_SME is implemented and the PE is in Streaming SVE mode, then any subsequent instruction which is dependent on the NZCV condition flags written by this instruction might be significantly delayed.
