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.
We can rip out the llc ability in update_test_checks.py next and rename it, so it will
be clear that we have one script for llc check auto-generation and another for opt.

We can replace "scalar" FP-bitwise-logic with other forms of bitwise-logic instructions.
Scalar SSE/AVX FP-logic instructions only exist in your imagination and/or the bowels of
compilers, but logically equivalent int, float, and double variants of bitwise-logic
instructions are reality in x86, and the float variant may be a shorter instruction
depending on which flavor (SSE or AVX) of vector ISA you have...so just prefer float all
the time.
