64-bit MMX vector generation usually ends up lowering into SSE instructions before being spilled/reloaded as a MMX type.
This patch creates a MMX vector from MMX source values, taking the lowest element from each source and constructing broadcasts/build_vectors with direct calls to the MMX PUNPCKL/PSHUFW intrinsics.
We're missing a few consecutive load combines that could be handled in a future patch if that would be useful - my main interest here is just avoiding a lot of the MMX/SSE crossover.

`llc -march` is problematic because it only switches the target
architecture, but leaves the operating system unchanged. This
occasionally leads to indeterministic tests because the OS from
LLVM_DEFAULT_TARGET_TRIPLE is used.
However we can simply always use `llc -mtriple` instead. This changes
all the tests to do this to avoid people using -march when they copy and
paste parts of tests.
