This generalizes the build_vector -> vector_shuffle combine to support any
number of inputs. The idea is to create a binary tree of shuffles, where
the first layer performs pairwise shuffles of the input vectors placing each
input element into the correct lane, and the rest of the tree blends these
shuffles together.
This doesn't try to be smart and create any sort of "optimal" shuffles.
The assumption is that even a "poor" shuffle sequence is better than extracting
and inserting the elements one by one.

As discussed on PR28136, lowerShuffleAsRepeatedMaskAndLanePermute was attempting to match repeated masks at the 128-bit level and then permute the resultant lanes at the 128-bit (AVX1) or 64-bit (AVX2) sub-lane level.
This change allows us to create the repeated masks at the sub-lane level (and then concat them together to create a 128-bit repeated mask) and then select which sub-lane to permute. This has no effect on the AVX1 codegen.
Fixes PR28136.

An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

For cases where we are truncating an integer vector arithmetic result, it may be better to pre-truncate the input operands - no code to support this yet (scalar is done with SimplifyDemandedBits but adding vector support could be a lot of work) but these tests represent the current codegen status.
