`llc -march` is problematic because it only switches the target
architecture, but leaves the operating system unchanged. This
occasionally leads to indeterministic tests because the OS from
LLVM_DEFAULT_TARGET_TRIPLE is used.
However we can simply always use `llc -mtriple` instead. This changes
all the tests to do this to avoid people using -march when they copy and
paste parts of tests.

This will be needed by a future commit to support sign/zero extending from v8i8 to v8i64 which requires a sign/zero_extend_vector_inreg to be created which requires v8i8 to be concatenated upto v64i8 and goes through this code.

We currently only support combining target shuffles that consist of a single source input (plus elements known to be undef/zero).
This patch generalizes the recursive combining of the target shuffle to collect all the inputs, merging any duplicates along the way, into a full set of src ops and its shuffle mask.
We uncover a number of cases where we have failed to combine a unary shuffle because the input has been duplicated and separated during lowering.
This will allow us to combine to 2-input shuffles in a future patch.

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.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

shuffles using AVX and AVX2 instructions. This fixes PR21138, one of the
few remaining regressions impacting benchmarks from the new vector
shuffle lowering.
You may note that it "regresses" many of the vperm2x128 test cases --
these were actually "improved" by the naive lowering that the new
shuffle lowering previously did. This regression gave me fits. I had
this patch ready-to-go about an hour after flipping the switch but
wasn't sure how to have the best of both worlds here and thought the
correct solution might be a completely different approach to lowering
these vector shuffles.
I'm now convinced this is the correct lowering and the missed
optimizations shown in vperm2x128 are actually due to missing
target-independent DAG combines. I've even written most of the needed
DAG combine and will submit it shortly, but this part is ready and
should help some real-world benchmarks out.

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.

tighter, more strict FileCheck assertions. Some of these I really like
as they show case exactly what instruction sequences come out of these
microscopic functionality tests.
