Improve vector extension of vectors on hardware without dedicated VSEXT/VZEXT instructions.
We already convert these to SIGN_EXTEND_VECTOR_INREG/ZERO_EXTEND_VECTOR_INREG but can further improve this by using the legalizer instead of prematurely splitting into legal vectors in the combine as this only properly helps for lowering to VSEXT/VZEXT.
Removes a lot of unnecessary any_extend + mask pattern - (Fix for PR25718).
Reapplied with a fix for PR26953 (missing vector widening legalization).

Add support for v2i8/v2i16 to v2f64 by using a sign extension to v2i32 before conversion to v2f64.
