shuffles rather than word shuffles.
As you might guess, these were built starting from the word shuffle test
cases and I failed to properly port a bunch of them and left them as
widened word shuffle test cases. We still have a couple of tests that
check our ability to widen shuffles, but now we will test the actual
byte shuffle quite a bit better.

pool data being loaded into a vector register.
The comments take the form of:
# ymm0 = [a,b,c,d,...]
# xmm1 = <x,y,z...>
The []s are used for generic sequential data and the <>s are used for
specifically ConstantVector loads. Undef elements are printed as the
letter 'u', integers in decimal, and floating point values as floating
point values. Suggestions on improving the formatting or other aspects
of the display are very welcome.
My primary use case for this is to be able to FileCheck test masks
passed to vector shuffle instructions in-register. It isn't fantastic
for that (no decoding special zeroing semantics or other tricks), but it
at least puts the mask onto an instruction line that could reasonably be
checked. I've updated many of the new vector shuffle lowering tests to
leverage this in their test cases so that we're actually checking the
shuffle masks remain as expected.
Before implementing this, I tried a *bunch* of different approaches.
I looked into teaching the MCInstLower code to scan up the basic block
and find a definition of a register used in a shuffle instruction and
then decode that, but this seems incredibly brittle and complex.
I talked to Hal a lot about the "right" way to do this: attach the raw
shuffle mask to the instruction itself in some form of unencoded
operands, and then use that to emit the comments. I still think that's
the optimal solution here, but it proved to be beyond what I'm up for
here. In particular, it seems likely best done by completing the
plumbing of metadata through these layers and attaching the shuffle mask
in metadata which could have fully automatic dropping when encoding an
actual instruction.

add VPBLENDD to the InstPrinter's comment generation so we get nice
comments everywhere.
Now that we have the nice comments, I can see the bug introduced by
a silly typo in the commit that enabled VPBLENDD, and have fixed it. Yay
tests that are easy to inspect.

VPBLENDD where appropriate even on 128-bit vectors.
According to Agner's tables, this instruction is significantly higher
throughput (can execute on any port) on Haswell chips so we should
aggressively try to form it when available.
Sadly, this loses our delightful shuffle comments. I'll add those back
for VPBLENDD next.

These are just test cases, no actual code yet. This establishes the
baseline fallback strategy we're starting from on AVX2 and the expected
lowering we use on AVX1.
Also, these test cases are very much generated. I've manually crafted
the specific pattern set that I'm hoping will be useful at exercising
the lowering code, but I've not (and could not) manually verify *all* of
these. I've spot checked and they seem legit to me.
As with the rest of vector shuffling, at a certain point the only really
useful way to check the correctness of this stuff is through fuzz
testing.
