When combining a pair of shuffle nodes, check if the combined shuffle mask is
trivially Undef. In case, immediately fold that pair of shuffles to Undef.
The lack of checks for undef masks was the root-cause of a poor-codegen bug
in the dag combiner.
Example:
%1 = shufflevector <4 x i32> %A, <4 x i32> %B, <4 x i32> <i32 4, i32 1, i32 1, i32 6>
%2 = shufflevector <4 x i32> %1, <4 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 4, i32 1, i32 6>
%3 = shufflevector <4 x i32> %2, <4 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 1, i32 5, i32 3, i32 3>
Before this patch, on x86 (with -mcpu=corei7) we failed to fold the entire
sequence to Undef value and therefore we generated:
shufps $-123, %xmm1, $xmm0
pshufd $-46, %xmm0, %xmm0
With this patch, the entire shuffle sequence is folded to Undef and no
shuffles are generated in the output assembly.
Added new test cases to test 'combine-vec-shuffle-5.ll'.

Canonicalize shuffles according to rules:
* shuffle(A, shuffle(A, B)) -> shuffle(shuffle(A,B), A)
* shuffle(B, shuffle(A, B)) -> shuffle(shuffle(A,B), B)
* shuffle(B, shuffle(A, Undef)) -> shuffle(shuffle(A, Undef), B)
This patch helps identifying more shuffle pairs that could be combined reusing
the already existing rules in the DAGCombiner.
Added new test 'combine-vec-shuffle-5.ll' to verify that the canonicalized
shuffles are now folded into a single shuffle node by the DAGCombiner.
Added more test cases to 'combine-vec-shuffle-4.ll'.
