The dream of a unified check-line auto-generator for all phases of compilation is dead.
The llc script has already diverged to be better at its goal, so having 2 scripts that
do almost the same thing is just causing confusion for newcomers. I plan to fix up more
x86 tests in a next commit. We can rip out the llc ability in update_test_checks.py after
that.

Also, fix the test params to use an attribute rather than a CPU model
and remove the AVX run because that does nothing but check for a 'v'
prefix in all of these tests.

This patch teaches the backend how to simplify/canonicalize dag node
sequences normally introduced by the backend when promoting certain dag nodes
with illegal vector type.
This patch adds two new combine rules:
1) fold (shuffle (bitcast (BINOP A, B)), Undef, <Mask>) ->
(shuffle (BINOP (bitcast A), (bitcast B)), Undef, <Mask>)
2) fold (BINOP (shuffle (A, Undef, <Mask>)), (shuffle (B, Undef, <Mask>))) ->
(shuffle (BINOP A, B), Undef, <Mask>).
Both rules are only triggered on the type-legalized DAG.
In particular, rule 1. is a target specific combine rule that attempts
to sink a bitconvert into the operands of a binary operation.
Rule 2. is a target independet rule that attempts to move a shuffle
immediately after a binary operation.
