Summary:
In SelectionDAG, when a store is immediately chained to another store
to the same address, elide the first store as it has no observable
effects. This is causes small improvements dealing with intrinsics
lowered to stores.
Test notes:
* Many testcases overwrite store addresses multiple times and needed
minor changes, mainly making stores volatile to prevent the
optimization from optimizing the test away.
* Many X86 test cases optimized out instructions associated with
associated with va_start.
* Note that test_splat in CodeGen/AArch64/misched-stp.ll no longer has
dependencies to check and can probably be removed and potentially
replaced with another test.

We have two cases here, the first one being the following instruction
selection from the builtin function:
bm(n)zi builtin -> vselect node -> bins[lr]i machine instruction
In case of bm(n)zi having an immediate which has either its high or low bits
set, a bins[lr] instruction can be selected through the selectVSplatMask[LR]
function. The function counts the number of bits set, and that value is
being passed to the bins[lr]i instruction as its immediate, which in turn
copies immediate modulo the size of the element in bits plus 1 as per specs,
where we get the off-by-one-error.
The other case is:
bins[lr]i -> vselect node -> bsel.v
In this case, a bsel.v instruction gets selected with a mask having one bit
less set than required.
