We already have (V)PMOVZX* combining support, this is the beginning of handling (V)PMOVSX* similarly - other combines in combineVSZext can be generalized in future patches.
This unearthed an interesting bug in that we were generating illegal build vectors on 32-bit targets - it was proving difficult to create a test for it from PMOVZX, but it fired immediately with PMOVSX. I've created a more general form of the existing getConstVector to handle these cases - ideally this should be handled in non-target-specific code but I couldn't find an equivalent.

An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

It would be better to check the valid/expected size of the immediate operand, but this is
generally better than what we print right now.

This re-applies r268760, reverted in r268794.
Fixes http://llvm.org/PR27670
The original imp-defs assertion was way overzealous: forward all
implicit operands, except imp-defs of the new super-reg def (r268787
for GR64, but also possible for GR16->GR32), or imp-uses of the new
super-reg use.
While there, mark the source use as Undef, and add an imp-use of the
old source reg: that should cover any case of dead super-regs.
At the stage the pass runs, flags are unlikely to matter anyway;
still, let's be as correct as possible.
Also add MIR tests for the various interesting cases.
Original commit message:
Codesize is less (16) or equal (8), and we avoid partial
dependencies.
