AVX2 can only broadcast from the zero'th element of a vector, but if the broadcastable element is the zero'th element of a 128-bit subvector its advantageous to extract the subvector, broadcast from that and avoid the loading of shuffle mask data that would be needed for VPERMPS/VPERMD. The only exception being when the source type is 4f64 or 4i64 which can directly use the immediate shuffle VPERMPD/VPERMQ directly.

Also update existing test cases which appear to be generated by it and
weren't modified (other than addition of the header) by rerunning it.

is going well, remove the flag and the code for the old legality tests.
This is the first step toward removing the entire old vector shuffle
lowering. *Much* more code to delete coming up next.

legality test (essentially, everything is legal).
I'm planning to make this the default shortly, but I'd like to fix
a collection of the bugs it exposes first, and this will let me easily
test them. It also showcases both the improvements and a few of the
regressions triggered by the change. The biggest improvements by far are
the significantly reduced shuffling and domain crossing in the combining
test case. The biggest regressions are missing some clever blending
patterns.
