The new 512-bit unmasked intrinsics will make it easy to handle these with the SSE/AVX intrinsics in InstCombine where we currently have a TODO.

There are cases of AVX-512 instructions that have two possible encodings. This is the case with instructions that use vector registers with low indexes of 0 - 15 and do not use the zmm registers or the mask k registers.
The EVEX encoding prefix requires 4 bytes whereas the VEX prefix can take only up to 3 bytes. Consequently, using the VEX encoding for these instructions results in a code size reduction of ~2 bytes even though it is compiled with the AVX-512 features enabled.

Optimized lowering of BITCAST node. The BITCAST node can be replaced with COPY_TO_REG instead of KMOV.
It allows to suppress two opposite BITCAST operations and avoid redundant "movs".

An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).
