**Motivation:**
In Pytorch, Aten vectorization supports multiple platforms, including x86 and Arm, as well as multiple data types. It provides a generic implementation of Vector (Vec) type that allows the programmer to write code packing various primitives (such as floats) within 256bit & 512bits registers. It can be extended to support other ISAs easily by adding more VecISA sub-classes.

**This PR:**
* Our goal with this contribution is to add support for SVE backend for Vec in the Aten vectorization for CPU backend which can be benefitted by any ARM architecture supported CPU's that supports SVE.
* More about SVE ISA for ARM: [https://developer.arm.com/Architectures/Scalable Vector Extensions](https://developer.arm.com/Architectures/Scalable%20Vector%20Extensions)
* We are using the ARM C Language Extensions for SVE (https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102699/0100/Optimizing-with-intrinsics ) to accelerate performance for various operators in the SVE backend for Vec.
* Currently we are adding support only for SVE ISA with the vector length of 256 bits (SVE 256). In future, we plan to extend this SVE support for other vector lengths as well.

It was deprecated since CMake-3.0 in favor of `execute_process`, see https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.18/command/exec_program.html
This makes the following warning disappear:
```
CMake Warning (dev) at cmake/Modules/FindARM.cmake:5 (EXEC_PROGRAM):
Policy CMP0153 is not set: The exec_program command should not be called.
Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0153" for policy details. Use the cmake_policy
command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
Use execute_process() instead.
