Matthias Braun 152e7c8b12 VirtRegMap: Replace some identity copies with KILL instructions.
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).

Simon Pilgrim ca1da1bf07 [X86][SSE] Improved blend+zero target shuffle combining to use combined shuffle mask directly
We currently only combine to blend+zero if the target value type has 8 elements or less, but this was missing a lot of cases where the combined mask had been widened.

This change makes it so we use the combined mask to determine the blend value type, allowing us to catch more widened cases.

Simon Pilgrim aab59b7a28 [X86][SSE] Some basic tests for variable shuffles
We don't really support non-constant shuffle masks, but these tests are for cases where BUILD_VECTOR is made up from vector extracts (as well as undef/zero scalars).
