LowerBuildVectorv16i8/LowerBuildVectorv8i16 insert values into a UNDEF vector if the build vector doesn't contain any zero elements, resulting in register dependencies with a previous use of the register.
This patch attempts to break the register dependency by either always zeroing the vector before hand or (if we're inserting to the 0'th element) by using VZEXT_MOVL(SCALAR_TO_VECTOR(i32 AEXT(Elt))) which lowers to (V)MOVD and performs a similar function. Additionally (V)MOVD is a shorter instruction than PINSRB/PINSRW. We already do something similar for SSE41 PINSRD.
On pre-SSE41 LowerBuildVectorv16i8 we go a little further and use VZEXT_MOVL(SCALAR_TO_VECTOR(i32 ZEXT(Elt))) if the build vector contains zeros to avoid the vector zeroing at the cost of a scalar zero extension, which can probably be brought over to the other cases in a future patch in some cases (load folding etc.)

As discussed on PR26491, we are missing the opportunity to make use of the smaller MOVHLPS instruction because we set both arguments of a SHUFPD when using it to lower a single input shuffle.
This patch sets the lowered argument to UNDEF if that shuffle element is undefined. This in turn makes it easier for target shuffle combining to decode UNDEF shuffle elements, allowing combines to MOVHLPS to occur.
A fix to match against MOVHPD stores was necessary as well.
This builds on the improved MOVLHPS/MOVHLPS lowering and memory folding support added in D16956
Adding similar support for SHUFPS will have to wait until have better support for target combining of binary shuffles.

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).
