Function @test3c should check that the DAGCombiner is able to fold a pair of
shuffles into a new shuffle with a permute mask of <6,7,2,3>. However, one of
the shuffles in @test3c had a wrong permute mask; this prevented the DAGCombiner
from folding the shuffles into the expected result.
Now that the shuffle mask is fixed, the backend correctly folds the two shuffles
in function @test3c into a single movhlps instruction.

Before this change, method 'isShuffleMaskLegal' didn't know that shuffles
implementing a 'movhlps' operation were perfectly legal for SSE targets.
This patch adds the missing check for 'isMOVHLPSMask' inside method
'isShuffleMaskLegal' to fix the problem.
The reason why it is important to do this is because the DAGCombiner
conservatively avoids combining a pair of shuffles if the resulting shuffle
node has an illegal mask. Before this patch, shuffles with a MOVHLPS mask were
wrongly considered not to be legal. This was the root cause of some poor-code
generation bugs.

Now functions 'test4', 'test9', 'test14' and 'test19' correctly perform
a move of two packed values from the high quadword of vector %b to the low
quadword of vector %a (movhlps idiom).
No functional change intended.

This patch teaches the DAGCombiner how to fold a pair of shuffles
according to rules:
1. shuffle(shuffle A, B, M0), B, M1) -> shuffle(A, B, M2)
2. shuffle(shuffle A, B, M0), A, M1) -> shuffle(A, B, M3)
The new rules would only trigger if the resulting shuffle has legal type and
legal mask.
Added test 'combine-vec-shuffle-3.ll' to verify that DAGCombiner correctly
folds shuffles on x86 when the resulting mask is legal. Also added some negative
cases to verify that we avoid introducing illegal shuffles.
