Chandler Carruth bd357588a1 [x86] Teach the x86 vector shuffle lowering to detect mergable 128-bit
lanes.

By special casing these we can often either reduce the total number of
shuffles significantly or reduce the number of (high latency on Haswell)
AVX2 shuffles that potentially cross 128-bit lanes. Even when these
don't actually cross lanes, they have much higher latency to support
that. Doing two of them and a blend is worse than doing a single insert
across the 128-bit lanes to blend and then doing a single interleaved
shuffle.

While this seems like a narrow case, it kept cropping up on me and the
difference is *huge* as you can see in many of the test cases. I first
hit this trying to perfectly fix the interleaving shuffle patterns used
by Halide for AVX2.
