We currently miss a number of opportunities to emit single-instruction
VMRG[LH][BHW] instructions for shuffles on little endian subtargets. Although
this in itself is not a huge performance opportunity since loading the permute
vector for a VPERM can always be pulled out of loops, producing such merge
instructions is useful to downstream optimizations.
Since VPERM is essentially opaque to all subsequent optimizations, we want to
avoid it as much as possible. Other permute instructions have semantics that can
be reasoned about much more easily in later optimizations.
This patch does the following:
- Canonicalize shuffles so that the first element comes from the first vector
(since that's what most of the mask matching functions want)
- Switch the elements that come from splat vectors so that they match the
corresponding elements from the other vector (to allow for merges)
- Adds debugging messages for when a shuffle is matched to a VPERM so that
anyone interested in improving this further can get the info for their code

There are a few patterns where we use a superclass for inputs to this
instruction rather than the correct class. This can sometimes lead to
unncessary copies.
The fma mutate test will not exercise what it was intended to test
once we simplify those ops immediately, but the test will still
pass with the existing CHECKs, so I'm leaving it in case that
still has minimal value.

When trying to combine a DAG that builds a vector out of sign-extensions of
vector extracts, the code assumes legal input types. Due to that, we have to
disable this combine prior to legalization.
In some cases, the DAG will look slightly different after legalization so
account for that in the matching code.
This is a fix for https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38087
