These opcodes are intended to subsume some of the capability of G_MERGE_VALUES,
as it was too powerful and thus complex to add deal with throughout the GISel
pipeline.
G_BUILD_VECTOR creates a vector value from a sequence of uniformly typed
scalar values. G_BUILD_VECTOR_TRUNC is a special opcode for handling scalar
operands which are larger than the destination vector element type, and
therefore does an implicit truncate.
G_CONCAT_VECTOR creates a vector by concatenating smaller, uniformly typed,
vectors together.
These will be used in a subsequent commit. This commit just adds the initial
infrastructure.
