We know that pcmp produces all-ones/all-zeros bitmasks, so we can use that behavior to avoid unnecessary constant loading.
One could argue that load+and is actually a better solution for some CPUs (Intel big cores) because shifts don't have the
same throughput potential as load+and on those cores, but that should be handled as a CPU-specific later transformation if
it ever comes up. Removing the load is the more general x86 optimization. Note that the uneven usage of vpbroadcast in the
test cases is filed as PR28505:

For targeting pecoff, ".def foo" appears before ".short 32".
.def foo;
...
.LCPI0_0:
.short 32
foo:
CHECK-LABEL seeks not from ".short 32" but from the top of the input.

shifted mask rather than masking and shifting separately.
The patch adds this transformation to the DAGCombiner:
(shl (and (setcc:i8v16 ...) N01C) N1C) -> (and (setcc:i8v16 ...) N01C<<N1C)
