An obfuscated splat is where the frontend poorly generates code for a splat
using several different shuffles to create the splat, i.e.,
%A = load <4 x float>* %in_ptr, align 16
%B = shufflevector <4 x float> %A, <4 x float> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 0, i32 undef, i32 undef>
%C = shufflevector <4 x float> %B, <4 x float> %A, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 1, i32 4, i32 undef>
%D = shufflevector <4 x float> %C, <4 x float> %A, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 1, i32 2, i32 4>

This code had previously used 2*N, where N is the mask length, to represent
undef. That is not safe because the shufflevector operands may have more
than N elements -- they don't have to match the result type.

Allow splats even if they don't match either of the original shuffles,
possibly due to undef entries in the shuffles masks. Radar 8597790.
Also fix some 80-column violations.

patterns generated by clang for transpose of a matrix in generic vectors. This is made
of two parts:
1) Propagating vector extracts of hi/lo half into their users
2) Recognizing an insertion of even elements followed by the odd elements as an unpack.
Testcase to come, but this shrinks the # of shuffle instructions generated on x86 from ~40 to the minimal 8.
