Bruno Cardoso Lopes 2ebe18b609 [SemaExpr] Support assignments from vector to scalars with same size
Before r266366, clang used to support constructs like:

  typedef __attribute__((vector_size(8))) double float64x1_t;
  typedef __attribute__((vector_size(16))) double float64x2_t;
  float64x1_t vget_low_f64(float64x2_t __p0);

  double y = 3.0 + vget_low_f64(v);

But it would reject:

  double y = vget_low_f64(v) + 3.0;

It also always rejected assignments:

  double y = vget_low_f64(v);

This patch: (a) revivies the behavior of `3.0 + vget_low_f64(v)` prior to
r266366, (b) add support for `vget_low_f64(v) + 3.0` and (c) add support for
assignments.

These vector semantics have never really been tied up but it seems
odd that we used to support some binop froms but do not support
assignment. If we did support scalar for the purposes of arithmetic, we
should probably be able to reinterpret as scalar for the purposes of
assignment too.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang development mailing list:
