When SVE was initially merged we chose to export the maximum VQ in the ABI as being 512, rather more than the architecturally supported maximum of 16. For the ptrace tests this results in us generating a lot of test cases and hence log output which are redundant since a system couldn't possibly support them. Instead only check values up to the current architectural limit, plus one more so that we're covering the constraining of higher vector lengths.

This makes no practical difference to our test coverage, speeds things up on slower consoles and makes the output much more managable.
