This will enable us to prefer VALIGND/Q during shuffle lowering in order to get the extended register encoding space when BWI isn't available. But if we end up not using the extended registers we can switch VPALIGNR for the shorter VEX encoding.

X86EvexToVex machine instruction pass compresses EVEX encoded instructions by replacing them with their identical VEX encoded instructions when possible.
It uses manually supported 2 large tables that map the EVEX instructions to their VEX ideticals.
This TableGen backend replaces the tables by automatically generating them.

There are cases of AVX-512 instructions that have two possible encodings. This is the case with instructions that use vector registers with low indexes of 0 - 15 and do not use the zmm registers or the mask k registers.
The EVEX encoding prefix requires 4 bytes whereas the VEX prefix can take only up to 3 bytes. Consequently, using the VEX encoding for these instructions results in a code size reduction of ~2 bytes even though it is compiled with the AVX-512 features enabled.
