This patch makes Scalarizer to use poison as insertelement's placeholder.
It contains two changes in Scalarizer.cpp, and the both changes does not change the semantics of the optimized program.
It is because the placeholder value (poison) is already completely hidden by following insertelement instructions.
The first change at visitBitCastInst() creates poison vector of MidTy and consecutively inserts FanIn times,
which is # of elems of MidTy.
The second change at ScalarizerVisitor::finish() creates poison with Op->getType(), and it is filled with
Count insertelements.
The test diffs show that the poison value is never exposed after insertelements.

Summary:
The indexing operator in Scatterer may result in building new
instructions. When using multiple such operators in a function
argument list the order in which we build instructions depend on
argument evaluation order (which is undefined in C++).
This patch avoid such problems by expanding the components using
the [] operator prior to the function call.
Problem was seen when comparing output, while builing LLVM with
different compilers (clang vs gcc).
