systematic lowering of v8i16.
This required a slight strategy shift to prefer unpack lowerings in more
places. While this isn't a cut-and-dry win in every case, it is in the
overwhelming majority. There are only a few places where the old
lowering would probably be a touch faster, and then only by a small
margin.
In some cases, this is yet another significant improvement.

v16i8 shuffles, and replace it with new facilities.
This uses precise patterns to match exact unpacks, and the new
generalized unpack lowering only when we detect a case where we will
have to shuffle both inputs anyways and they terminate in exactly
a blend.
This fixes all of the blend horrors that I uncovered by always lowering
blends through the vector shuffle lowering. It also removes *sooooo*
much of the crazy instruction sequences required for v16i8 lowering
previously. Much cleaner now.
The only "meh" aspect is that we sometimes use pshufb+pshufb+unpck when
it would be marginally nicer to use pshufb+pshufb+por. However, the
difference there is *tiny*. In many cases its a win because we re-use
the pshufb mask. In others, we get to avoid the pshufb entirely. I've
left a FIXME, but I'm dubious we can really do better than this. I'm
actually pretty happy with this lowering now.
For SSE2 this exposes some horrors that were really already there. Those
will have to fixed by changing a different path through the v16i8
lowering.

This allows it to match still more places where previously we would have
to fall back on floating point shuffles or other more complex lowering
strategies.
I'm hoping to replace some of the hand-rolled unpack matching with this
routine is it gets more and more clever.

advantage of the existence of a reasonable blend instruction.
The 256-bit vector shuffle lowering has leveraged the general technique
of decomposed shuffles and blends for quite some time, but this never
made it back into the 128-bit code, and there are a large number of
patterns where this is substantially better. For example, this removes
almost all domain crossing in vector shuffles that involve some blend
and some permutation with SSE4.1 and later. See the massive reduction
in 'shufps' for integer test cases in this commit.
This isn't perfect yet for a few reasons:
1) The v8i16 shuffle lowering continues to plague me. We don't always
form an unpack-based blend when that would be better. But the wins
pretty drastically outstrip the losses here.
2) The v16i8 shuffle lowering is just a disaster here. I never went and
implemented blend support here for some terrible reason. I'll do
that next probably. I've not updated it for now.
More variations on this technique are coming as well -- we don't
shuffle-into-unpack or shuffle-into-palignr, both of which would also be
profitable.
Note that some test cases grow significantly in the number of
instructions, but I expect to actually be faster. We use
pshufd+pshufd+blendw instead of a single shufps, but the pshufd's are
very likely to pipeline well (two ports on most modern intel chips) and
the blend is a *very* fast instruction. The domain switch penalty will
essentially always be more than a blend instruction, which is the only
increase in tree height.
