The code change is simple enough: instead of attaching an anonymous SDLoc to splatted
vector constants, use the scalar constant's existing SDLoc since that is what is passed
into getConstant() as a param. But this changes instruction scheduling, so I'll explain
why that happens.
The motivation for this patch starts near:
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL258833
...x86's getZeroVector() could be similarly cleaned up and I thought it would be 'NFC'.
But when I made that change locally, several x86 codegen tests wiggled.
It turns out that the lack of SDLoc consistency in getConstant() changes the way
ScheduleDAGRRList behaves. This is because the SDLoc contains 'IROrder' and some DAG
scheduler algorithms use IROrder for tie-breaking.

autogenerated.
Also update existing test cases which appear to be generated by it and
weren't modified (other than addition of the header) by rerunning it.

I followed three heuristics for deciding whether to set 'true' or
'false':
- Everything target independent got 'true' as that is the expected
common output of the GCC builtins.
- If the target arch only has one way of implementing this operation,
set the flag in the way that exercises the most of codegen. For most
architectures this is also the likely path from a GCC builtin, with
'true' being set. It will (eventually) require lowering away that
difference, and then lowering to the architecture's operation.
- Otherwise, set the flag differently dependending on which target
operation should be tested.
Let me know if anyone has any issue with this pattern or would like
specific tests of another form. This should allow the x86 codegen to
just iteratively improve as I teach the backend how to differentiate
between the two forms, and everything else should remain exactly the
same.

SelectionDAG::getConstant, in the same way as vector floating-point
constants. This allows the legalize expansion code for @llvm.ctpop and
friends to be usable with vector types.
