Similar to what we do for vXi8 ASHR(X, 7), use SSE42's PCMPGTQ to splat the sign instead of using the PSRAD+PSHUFD.
Avoiding bitcasts this improves combines that utilize computeNumSignBits, permits memory folding and reduces pipe pressure. Although it does require a second register, given that this is a (cheap) zero register the impact is minimal.

Currently combineLogicBlendIntoPBLENDV can only match ASHR to detect sign splatting of a bit mask, this patch generalises this to use computeNumSignBits instead.
This is a first step in several things we can do to improve PBLENDV support:
* Better matching of X86ISD::ANDNP patterns.
* Handle floating point cases.
* Better vector and bitcast support in computeNumSignBits.
* Recognise that PBLENDV only uses the sign bit of the mask, we should be able strip away sign splats (ASHR, PCMPGT isNeg tests etc.).
