The assert that caused this to be reverted should be fixed now.
Original commit message:
This patch changes our defualt legalization behavior for 16, 32, and
64 bit vectors with i8/i16/i32/i64 scalar types from promotion to
widening. For example, v8i8 will now be widened to v16i8 instead of
promoted to v8i16. This keeps the elements widths the same and pads
with undef elements. We believe this is a better legalization strategy.
But it carries some issues due to the fragmented vector ISA. For
example, i8 shifts and multiplies get widened and then later have
to be promoted/split into vXi16 vectors.
This has the potential to cause regressions so we wanted to get
it in early in the 10.0 cycle so we have plenty of time to
address them.
Next steps will be to merge tests that explicitly test the command
line option. And then we can remove the option and its associated
code.

As noted in PR39973 and D55558:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39973
...this is a partial implementation of a fold that we do as an IR canonicalization in instcombine:
// extelt (binop X, Y), Index --> binop (extelt X, Index), (extelt Y, Index)
We want to have this in the DAG too because as we can see in some of the test diffs (reductions),
the pattern may not be visible in IR.
Given that this is already an IR canonicalization, any backend that would prefer a vector op over
a scalar op is expected to already have the reverse transform in DAG lowering (not sure if that's
a realistic expectation though). The transform is limited with a TLI hook because there's an
existing transform in CodeGenPrepare that tries to do the opposite transform.

This patch fixes the logic in the DAGCombiner that folds an AND node according
to rule: (and (X (load V)), C) -> (X (load V))
An AND between a vector load 'X' and a constant build_vector 'C' can be folded
into the load itself only if we can prove that the AND operation is redundant.
The algorithm implemented by 'visitAND' firstly computes the splat value 'S'
from C, and then checks if S has the lower 'B' bits set (where B is the size in
bits of the vector element type). The algorithm takes into account also the
'undef' bits in the splat mask.
Unfortunately, the algorithm only worked under the assumption that the size of S
is a multiple of the vector element type. With this patch, we conservatively
avoid folding the AND if the splat bits are not compatible with the vector
element type.
Added X86 test and-load-fold.ll
