If all a BUILD_VECTOR's source elements are the same bit (AND/XOR/OR) operation type and each has one constant operand, lower to a pair of BUILD_VECTOR and just apply the bit operation to the vectors.
The constant operands will form a constant vector meaning that we still only have a single BUILD_VECTOR to lower and we will have replaced all the scalarized operations with a single SSE equivalent.
Its not in our interest to start make a general purpose vectorizer from this, but I'm seeing enough of these scalar bit operations from the later legalization/scalarization stages to support them at least.

This is one of the cases shown in:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26701
Shift and negate is what InstCombine appears to prefer, so I've started with that pattern.
Note that the 'pcmpeq' instructions are always generating the negative one for the actual
'pcmpgt' comparison in each case (side note: why isn't there an alias mnemonic for that?).
