Update the entire regression test suite for the new shuffles. Remove
most of the old testing which was devoted to the old shuffle lowering
path and is no longer relevant really. Also remove a few other random
tests that only really exercised shuffles and only incidently or without
any interesting aspects to them.
Benchmarking that I have done shows a few small regressions with this on
LNT, zero measurable regressions on real, large applications, and for
several benchmarks where the loop vectorizer fires in the hot path it
shows 5% to 40% improvements for SSE2 and SSE3 code running on Sandy
Bridge machines. Running on AMD machines shows even more dramatic
improvements.
When using newer ISA vector extensions the gains are much more modest,
but the code is still better on the whole. There are a few regressions
being tracked (PR21137, PR21138, PR21139) but by and large this is
expected to be a win for x86 generated code performance.
It is also more correct than the code it replaces. I have fuzz tested
this extensively with ISA extensions up through AVX2 and found no
crashes or miscompiles (yet...). The old lowering had a few miscompiles
and crashers after a somewhat smaller amount of fuzz testing.
There is one significant area where the new code path lags behind and
that is in AVX-512 support. However, there was *extremely little*
support for that already and so this isn't a significant step backwards
and the new framework will probably make it easier to implement lowering
that uses the full power of AVX-512's table-based shuffle+blend (IMO).
Many thanks to Quentin, Andrea, Robert, and others for benchmarking
assistance. Thanks to Adam and others for help with AVX-512. Thanks to
Hal, Eric, and *many* others for answering my incessant questions about
how the backend actually works. =]
I will leave the old code path in the tree until the 3 PRs above are at
least resolved to folks' satisfaction. Then I will rip it (and 1000s of
lines of code) out. =] I don't expect this flag to stay around for very
long. It may not survive next week.

AVX is available, and generally tidy up things surrounding UNPCK
formation.
Originally, I was thinking that the only advantage of PSHUFD over UNPCK
instruction variants was its free copy, and otherwise we should use the
shorter encoding UNPCK instructions. This isn't right though, there is
a larger advantage of being able to fold a load into the operand of
a PSHUFD. For UNPCK, the operand *must* be in a register so it can be
the second input.
This removes the UNPCK formation in the target-specific DAG combine for
v4i32 shuffles. It also lifts the v8 and v16 cases out of the
AVX-specific check as they are potentially replacing multiple
instructions with a single instruction and so should always be valuable.
The floating point checks are simplified accordingly.
This also adjusts the formation of PSHUFD instructions to attempt to
match the shuffle mask to one which would fit an UNPCK instruction
variant. This was originally motivated to allow it to match the UNPCK
instructions in the combiner, but clearly won't now.
Eventually, we should add a MachineCombiner pass that can form UNPCK
instructions post-RA when the operand is known to be in a register and
thus there is no loss.

of normally binary shuffle instructions like PUNPCKL and MOVLHPS.
This detects cases where a single register is used for both operands
making the shuffle behave in a unary way. We detect this and adjust the
mask to use the unary form which allows the existing DAG combine for
shuffle instructions to actually work at all.
As a consequence, this uncovered a number of obvious bugs in the
existing DAG combine which are fixed. It also now canonicalizes several
shuffles even with the existing lowering. These typically are trying to
match the shuffle to the domain of the input where before we only really
modeled them with the floating point variants. All of the cases which
change to an integer shuffle here have something in the integer domain, so
there are no more or fewer domain crosses here AFAICT. Technically, it
might be better to go from a GPR directly to the floating point domain,
but detecting floating point *outputs* despite integer inputs is a lot
more code and seems unlikely to be worthwhile in practice. If folks are
seeing domain-crossing regressions here though, let me know and I can
hack something up to fix it.
Also as a consequence, a bunch of missed opportunities to form pshufb
now can be formed. Notably, splats of i8s now form pshufb.
Interestingly, this improves the existing splat lowering too. We go from
3 instructions to 1. Yes, we may tie up a register, but it seems very
likely to be worth it, especially if splatting the 0th byte (the
common case) as then we can use a zeroed register as the mask.

Adds the different broadcast instructions to the ReplaceableInstrsAVX2 table.
That way the ExeDepsFix pass can take better decisions when AVX2 broadcasts are
across domain (int <-> float).
In particular, prior to this patch we were generating:
vpbroadcastd LCPI1_0(%rip), %ymm2
vpand %ymm2, %ymm0, %ymm0
vmaxps %ymm1, %ymm0, %ymm0 ## <- domain change penalty
Now, we generate the following nice sequence where everything is in the float
domain:
vbroadcastss LCPI1_0(%rip), %ymm2
vandps %ymm2, %ymm0, %ymm0
vmaxps %ymm1, %ymm0, %ymm0
