As discussed in D11886, this patch moves the SSE/AVX vector blend folding to instcombiner from PerformINTRINSIC_WO_CHAINCombine (which allows us to remove this completely).
InstCombiner already had partial support for this, I just had to add support for zero (ConstantAggregateZero) masks and also the case where both selection inputs were the same (allowing us to ignore the mask).
I also moved all the relevant combine tests into InstCombine/blend_x86.ll

Added target specific combine rules to fold blend intrinsics according
to the following rules:
1) fold(blend A, A, Mask) -> A;
2) fold(blend A, B, <allZeros>) -> A;
3) fold(blend A, B, <allOnes>) -> B.
Added two new tests to verify that the new folding rules work for all
the optimized blend intrinsics.
