This avoids some nasty shuffles when we have avx512. It will also prevent using zmm truncate instructions when a ymm instruction that zeroes part of an xmm register will do. Also avoid using avx512 truncate instructions when the input is 128 bits or less. These instructions are 2 uops on skx so we can probably find a better single uop shuffle like pshufb.

I'm looking into whether we can make this the default legalization strategy. Adding these tests to help cover the changes that will be necessary.
This patch adds copies of some tests with the command line switch enabled. By making copies its easier to compare the two legalization strategies.
I've also removed RUN lines from some of these tests that already had -x86-experimental-vector-widening-legalization
