The SLP vectorizer should not vectorize ephemeral values. These are used to
express information to the optimizer, and vectorizing them does not lead to
faster code (because the ephemeral values are dropped prior to code generation,
vectorized or not), and obscures the information the instructions are
attempting to communicate (the logic that interprets the arguments to
@llvm.assume generically does not understand vectorized conditions).
Also, uses by ephemeral values are free (because they, and the necessary
extractelement instructions, will be dropped prior to code generation).

When can't assume a vectorized tree is rooted in an instruction. The IRBuilder
could have constant folded it. When we rebuild the build_vector (the series of
InsertElement instructions) use the last original InsertElement instruction. The
vectorized tree root is guaranteed to be before it.
Also, we can't assume that the n-th InsertElement inserts the n-th element into
a vector.
This reverts r207746 which reverted the revert of the revert of r205018 or so.
Fixes the test case in PR19621.

Turns out that this was the root cause of PR19621. We found a crasher
only recently (likely due to improvements elsewhere in the SLP
vectorizer) but the reduced test case failed all the way back to here.
I've confirmed that reverting this patch both fixes the reduced test
case in PR19621 and the actual source file that led to it, so it seems
to really be rooted here. I've replied to the commit thread with
discussion of my (feeble) attempts to debug this. Didn't make it very
far, so reverting now that we have a good test case so that things can
get back to healthy while the debugging carries on.
