re-combining shuffles because nothing was available in the wider vector
type.
The key observation (which I've put in the comments for future
maintainers) is that at this point, no further combining is really
possible. And so even though these shuffles trivially could be combined,
we need to actually do that as we produce them when producing them this
late in the lowering.
This fixes another (huge) part of the Halide vector shuffle regressions.
As it happens, this was already well covered by the tests, but I hadn't
noticed how bad some of these got. The specific patterns that turn
directly into unpckl/h patterns were occurring *many* times in common
vector processing code.
There are still more problems here sadly, but trying to incrementally
tease them apart and it looks like this is the core of the problem in
the splitting logic.
There is some chance of regression here, you can see it in the test
changes. Specifically, where we stop forming pshufb in some cases, it is
possible that pshufb was in fact faster. Intel "says" that pshufb is
slower than the instruction sequences replacing it.

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.

to the zero-extend-vector-inreg node introduced previously for the same
purpose: manage the type legalization of widened extend operations,
especially to support the experimental widening mode for x86.
I'm adding both because sign-extend is expanded in terms of any-extend
with shifts to propagate the sign bit. This removes the last
fundamental scalarization from vec_cast2.ll (a test case that hit many
really bad edge cases for widening legalization), although the trunc
tests in that file still appear scalarized because the the shuffle
legalization is scalarizing. Funny thing, I've been working on that.
Some initial experiments with this and SSE2 scenarios is showing
moderately good behavior already for sign extension. Still some work to
do on the shuffle combining on X86 before we're generating optimal
sequences, but avoiding scalarization is a huge step forward.

not widening the input type to the node sufficiently to let the ext take
place in a register.
This would in turn result in a mysterious bitcast assertion failure
downstream. First change here is to add back the helpful assert I had in
an earlier version of the code to catch this immediately.
Next change is to add support to the type legalization to detect when we
have widened the operand either too little or too much (for whatever
reason) and find a size-matched legal vector type to convert it to
first. This can also fail so we get a new fallback path, but that seems
OK.
With this, we no longer crash on vec_cast2.ll when using widening. I've
also added the CHECK lines for the zero-extend cases here. We still need
to support sign-extend and trunc (or something) to get plausible code
for the other two thirds of this test which is one of the regression
tests that showed the most scalarization when widening was
force-enabled. Slowly closing in on widening being a viable legalization
strategy without it resorting to scalarization at every turn. =]

This script catches a superset of the cases caught by the script associated with commit r186280. It initially found some false positives due to unusual constructs in a minority of tests; all such cases were disambiguated first in commit r186621.
