On one test this seems to have given more chance for DAG combine to do other INSERT_SUBVECTOR/EXTRACT_SUBVECTOR combines before the BLENDI was created. Looks like we can still improve more by teaching DAG combine to optimize INSERT_SUBVECTOR/EXTRACT_SUBVECTOR with BLENDI.

Replaces an xor+movd/movq with an xorps which will be shorter in codesize, avoid an int-fpu transfer, allow modern cores to fast path the result during decode and helps other combines recognise an all-zero vector.
The only reason I can think of that we'd want to keep scalar_to_vector in this case is to help recognise the upper elts are undef but this doesn't seem to be a problem.

If the input vector to INSERT_SUBVECTOR is another INSERT_SUBVECTOR, and this inserted subvector replaces the last insertion, then insert into the common source vector.
i.e.
INSERT_SUBVECTOR( INSERT_SUBVECTOR( Vec, SubOld, Idx ), SubNew, Idx ) --> INSERT_SUBVECTOR( Vec, SubNew, Idx )

Part 1 of 2
This patch attempts to replace the insertion of zero scalars with a vector blend with zero, avoiding the use of the integer insertion instructions (which are particularly slow on many targets).
(Part 2 will add support for combining multiple blends-with-zero).
