This patch enables combining integer bitcasts of integer build vectors when the new scalar type is legal. I've avoided floating point because the implementation bitcasts float to int along the way and we would need to check the intermediate types for legality

For little-endian, the function would convert (extract_vector_elt (load X), Y)
to X + Y*sizeof(elt). For big-endian it would instead use
X + sizeof(vec) - Y*sizeof(elt). The big-endian case wasn't right since
vector index order always follows memory/array order, even for big-endian.
(Note that the current handling has to be wrong for Y==0 since it would
access beyond the end of the vector.)
