There are cases of AVX-512 instructions that have two possible encodings. This is the case with instructions that use vector registers with low indexes of 0 - 15 and do not use the zmm registers or the mask k registers.
The EVEX encoding prefix requires 4 bytes whereas the VEX prefix can take only up to 3 bytes. Consequently, using the VEX encoding for these instructions results in a code size reduction of ~2 bytes even though it is compiled with the AVX-512 features enabled.

This is a tiny patch with a big pile of test changes.
This partially fixes PR27885:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27885
My motivating case looks like this:
- vpshufd {{.*#+}} xmm1 = xmm1[0,1,0,2]
- vpshufd {{.*#+}} xmm0 = xmm0[0,2,2,3]
- vpblendw {{.*#+}} xmm0 = xmm0[0,1,2,3],xmm1[4,5,6,7]
+ vshufps {{.*#+}} xmm0 = xmm0[0,2],xmm1[0,2]
And this happens several times in the diffs. For chips with domain-crossing penalties,
the instruction count and size reduction should usually overcome any potential
domain-crossing penalty due to using an FP op in a sequence of int ops. For chips such
as recent Intel big cores and Atom, there is no domain-crossing penalty for shufps, so
using shufps is a pure win.
So the test case diffs all appear to be improvements except one test in
vector-shuffle-combining.ll where we miss an opportunity to use a shift to generate
zero elements and one test in combine-sra.ll where multiple uses prevent the expected
shuffle combining.

Implemented widening (v2f32) and splitting (v16f64).
On splitting, I use "popcnt" to calculate memory increment.
More type legalization work will come in the next patches.

2 new intrinsics covering AVX-512 compress/expand functionality.
This implementation includes syntax, DAG builder, operation lowering and tests.
Does not include: handling of illegal data types, codegen prepare pass and the cost model.
