We have the related getSplatValue() already in IR (see code just above the proposed addition).
But sometimes we only need to know that the value is a splat rather than capture the splatted
scalar value. Also, we have an isSplatValue() function already in SDAG.
Motivation - recent bugs that would potentially benefit from improved splat analysis in IR:
