This patch aims to make sure that any such constant that can be generated
with a vector instruction (for example VGBM) is recognized as such during
legalization and kept as a target independent node through post-legalize
DAGCombining.
Two new functions named isVectorConstantLegal() and loadVectorConstant()
replace old ways of handling vector/FP constants.
A new struct named SystemZVectorConstantInfo is used to cache the results of
isVectorConstantLegal() and pass them onto loadVectorConstant().
Support for fp128 constants in the presence of FeatureVectorEnhancements1
(z14) has been added.

Don't lower BUILD_VECTORs to BYTE_MASK, but instead expose the BUILD_VECTORs
to the DAGCombiner and select them to VGBM in Select(). This allows the
DAGCombiner to understand the constant vector values.
For floating point, only all-zeros vectors are now generated with VGBM, as it
turned out to be somewhat complicated to handle any arbitrary constants,
while in practice this is very rare and hardly needed.
The SystemZ ISD opcodes z_byte_mask, z_vzero and z_vones have been removed.

The ABI allows sub-128 vectors to be passed and returned in registers,
with the vector occupying the upper part of a register. We therefore
want to legalize those types by widening the vector rather than promoting
the elements.
The patch includes some simple tests for sub-128 vectors and also tests
that we can recognize various pack sequences, some of which use sub-128
vectors as temporary results. One of these forms is based on the pack
sequences generated by llvmpipe when no intrinsics are used.
Signed unpacks are recognized as BUILD_VECTORs whose elements are
individually sign-extended. Unsigned unpacks can have the equivalent
form with zero extension, but they also occur as shuffles in which some
elements are zero.

The architecture doesn't really have any native v4f32 operations except
v4f32->v2f64 and v2f64->v4f32 conversions, with only half of the v4f32
elements being used. Even so, using vector registers for <4 x float>
and scalarising individual operations is much better than generating
completely scalar code, since there's much less register pressure.
It's also more efficient to do v4f32 comparisons by extending to 2
v2f64s, comparing those, then packing the result.
This particularly helps with llvmpipe.
