Chandler Carruth 560bddce20 [x86, dag] Teach the DAG combiner to prune inputs toa vector_shuffle
that are unused.

This allows the combiner to delete math feeding shuffles where the math
isn't actually necessary. This improves some of the vperm2x128 tests
that regressed when the vector shuffle lowering started actually
generating vperm instructions rather than forcibly decomposing them.

Sadly, this isn't enough to get this *really* right because we still
form a completely unnecessary permutation. To fix that, we also need to
fold shuffles which just rearrange concatenated or inserted subvectors.
