This is an enhancement to D81766 to allow loading the minimum target
vector type into an IR vector with a different number of elements.
In one of the motivating tests from PR16739, SLP creates <2 x float>
load ops mixed with <4 x float> insert ops, so we want to handle that
pattern in addition to potential oversized vectors created by the
vectorizers.
For now, we are assuming the insert/extract subvector with undef is
free because there is no exact corresponding TTI modeling for that.

This is a fixup to commit 43bdac2906, to make sure the
address space from the original load pointer is retained in the
vector pointer.
Resolves problem with
Assertion `castIsValid(op, S, Ty) && "Invalid cast!"' failed.
due to address space mismatch.

This patch was adjusted to match the most basic pattern that starts with an insertelement
(so there's no extract created here). Hopefully, that removes any concern about
interfering with other passes. Ie, the transform should almost always be profitable.
We could make an argument that this could be part of canonicalization, but we
conservatively try not to create vector ops from scalar ops in passes like instcombine.
If the transform is not profitable, the backend should be able to re-scalarize the load.
