This moves the X86 specific transform from rL364407
into DAGCombiner to generically handle 'little to big' cases
(for example: extract_subvector(v2i64 bitcast(v16i8))). This
allows us to remove both the x86 implementation and the aarch64
bitcast(extract_subvector(bitcast())) combine.
Earlier patches that dealt with regressions initially exposed

Patch by: @RKSimon (Simon Pilgrim)
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D63815
with its source instead of forcing the values on GPRs.
This improves the lowering of vector code when such bitcasts happen in the
middle of vector computations.
