We currently generate BUILD_VECTOR as a tree of UNPCKL shuffles of the same type:
e.g. for v4f32:
Step 1: unpcklps 0, 2 ==> X: <?, ?, 2, 0>
: unpcklps 1, 3 ==> Y: <?, ?, 3, 1>
Step 2: unpcklps X, Y ==> <3, 2, 1, 0>
The issue is because we are not placing sequential vector elements together early enough, we fail to recognise many combinable patterns - consecutive scalar loads, extractions etc.
Instead, this patch unpacks progressively larger sequential vector elements together:
e.g. for v4f32:
Step 1: unpcklps 0, 2 ==> X: <?, ?, 1, 0>
: unpcklps 1, 3 ==> Y: <?, ?, 3, 2>
Step 2: unpcklpd X, Y ==> <3, 2, 1, 0>
This does mean that we are creating UNPCKL shuffle of different value types, but the relevant combines that benefit from this are quite capable of handling the additional BITCASTs that are now included in the shuffle tree.

LowerBuildVectorv16i8/LowerBuildVectorv8i16 insert values into a UNDEF vector if the build vector doesn't contain any zero elements, resulting in register dependencies with a previous use of the register.
This patch attempts to break the register dependency by either always zeroing the vector before hand or (if we're inserting to the 0'th element) by using VZEXT_MOVL(SCALAR_TO_VECTOR(i32 AEXT(Elt))) which lowers to (V)MOVD and performs a similar function. Additionally (V)MOVD is a shorter instruction than PINSRB/PINSRW. We already do something similar for SSE41 PINSRD.
On pre-SSE41 LowerBuildVectorv16i8 we go a little further and use VZEXT_MOVL(SCALAR_TO_VECTOR(i32 ZEXT(Elt))) if the build vector contains zeros to avoid the vector zeroing at the cost of a scalar zero extension, which can probably be brought over to the other cases in a future patch in some cases (load folding etc.)

autogenerated.
Also update existing test cases which appear to be generated by it and
weren't modified (other than addition of the header) by rerunning it.

Also, moved test cases from CodeGen/X86/fold-buildvector-bug.ll into
CodeGen/X86/buildvec-insertvec.ll and regenerated CHECK lines using
update_llc_test_checks.py.

- If INSERT_VECTOR_ELT is supported (above SSE2, either by custom
sequence of legal insn), transform BUILD_VECTOR into SHUFFLE +
INSERT_VECTOR_ELT if most of elements could be built from SHUFFLE with few
(so far 1) elements being inserted.
