This doesn't change tests codegen as we already combined to blend+zero which is what we lower VZEXT_MOVL to on SSE41+ targets, but it does put us in a better position when we improve shuffling for optsize.

Primarily this is to allow blend with zero instead of having to use vperm2f128, but we can use this in the future to deal with AVX512 cases where we need to keep the original element size to correctly fold masked operations.

An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

This patch allows target shuffles to be combined to single input immediate permute instructions - (V)PSHUFD/VPERMILPD/VPERMILPS - allowing more general pattern matching than what we current do and improves the likelihood of memory folding compared to existing patterns which tend to reuse the input in multiple arguments.
Further permute instructions (V)PSHUFLW/(V)PSHUFHW/(V)PERMQ/(V)PERMPD may be added in the future but its proven tricky to create tests cases for them so far. (V)PSHUFLW/(V)PSHUFHW is already handled quite well in combineTargetShuffle so it may be that removing some of that code may allow us to perform more of the combining in one place without duplication.

That's not the case for VPERMV/VPERMV3, which cover all possible
combinations (the C intrinsics use a different order; the AVX vs
AVX512 intrinsics are different still).
Since:
r246981 AVX-512: Lowering for 512-bit vector shuffles.
VPERMV is recognized in getTargetShuffleMask.
This breaks assumptions in most callers, as they expect
the non-mask operands to start at index 0.
VPERMV has the mask as operand #0; VPERMV3 has it in the middle.
Instead of the faulty assumption, have getTargetShuffleMask return
its operands as well.
One alternative we considered was to change the operand order of
VPERMV, but we agreed to stick to the instruction order, as there
are more AVX512 weirdness to cover (vpermt2/vpermi2 in particular).
