This patch teaches the backend how to simplify/canonicalize dag node
sequences normally introduced by the backend when promoting certain dag nodes
with illegal vector type.
This patch adds two new combine rules:
1) fold (shuffle (bitcast (BINOP A, B)), Undef, <Mask>) ->
(shuffle (BINOP (bitcast A), (bitcast B)), Undef, <Mask>)
2) fold (BINOP (shuffle (A, Undef, <Mask>)), (shuffle (B, Undef, <Mask>))) ->
(shuffle (BINOP A, B), Undef, <Mask>).
Both rules are only triggered on the type-legalized DAG.
In particular, rule 1. is a target specific combine rule that attempts
to sink a bitconvert into the operands of a binary operation.
Rule 2. is a target independet rule that attempts to move a shuffle
immediately after a binary operation.

This patch teaches the x86 backend how to efficiently lower ISD::BITCAST dag
nodes from MVT::f64 to MVT::v4i16 (and vice versa), and from MVT::f64 to
MVT::v8i8 (and vice versa).
This patch extends the logic from revision 208107 to also handle MVT::v4i16
and MVT::v8i8. Also, this patch correctly propagates Undef values when
performing the widening of a vector (example: when widening from v2i32 to
v4i32, the upper 64bits of the resulting vector are 'undef').
