Under normal circumstances we prefer the higher performance MOVD to extract the 0'th element of a v8i16 vector instead of PEXTRW.
But as detailed on PR27265, this prevents the SSE41 implementation of PEXTRW from folding the store of the 0'th element. Additionally it prevents us from making use of the fact that the (SSE2) reg-reg version of PEXTRW implicitly zero-extends the i16 element to the i32/i64 destination register.
This patch only preferentially lowers to MOVD if we will not be zero-extending the extracted i16, nor prevent a store from being folded (on SSSE41).
Fix for PR27265.

An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

autogenerated.
Also update existing test cases which appear to be generated by it and
weren't modified (other than addition of the header) by rerunning it.

Optimized <8 x i32> to <8 x i16>
<4 x i64> to < 4 x i32>
<16 x i16> to <16 x i8>
All these oprtrations use now AVX512F set (KNL). Before this change it was implemented with AVX2 set.

This commit broke the build. Numerous build bots broken, and it was
blocking my progress so reverting.
It should be trivial to reproduce -- enable the BPF backend and it
should fail when running llvm-tblgen.
