This change was discussed in D15392. It allows us to remove the fold that was added
in:
http://reviews.llvm.org/r255261
...and it will allow us to generalize this fold:
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL112232
while preserving the order of bitcast + extract that it produces and testing shows
is better handled by the backend.
Note that the existing check for "isVectorTy()" wasn't strong enough in general
and specifically because: x86_mmx. It's not a vector, but it's not vectorizable
either. So here we check VectorType::isValidElementType() directly before
proceeding with the transform.

input filename so that opt doesn't print the input filename in the
output so that grep lines in the tests don't unintentionally match
strings in the input filename.

insertelement/extractelement.
I'm not entirely sure this is precisely what we want to do: should we
prefer bitcast(insertelement) or insertelement(bitcast)? Similarly. should we
prefer extractelement(bitcast) or bitcast(extractelement)?
