This patch improves the folding of vector AND nodes into blend operations for
targets that feature SSE4.1. A vector AND node where one of the operands is
a constant build_vector with elements that are either zero or all-ones can be
converted into a blend.
This allows for example to simplify the following code:
define <4 x i32> @test(<4 x i32> %A, <4 x i32> %B) {
%1 = and <4 x i32> %A, <i32 0, i32 0, i32 0, i32 -1>
%2 = and <4 x i32> %B, <i32 -1, i32 -1, i32 -1, i32 0>
%3 = or <4 x i32> %1, %2
ret <4 x i32> %3
}

With this patch we generate a single 'vpblendw'.
