Sanjay Patel 5f79fd2f02 [AVX] Lower / fast-isel scalar FP selects into VBLENDV instructions (PR22483)
This patch reduces code size for all AVX targets and increases speed for some chips.

SSE 4.1 introduced the useless (see code comments) 2-register form of BLENDV and
only in the packed float/double flavors.

AVX subsequently made the instruction useful by adding a 4-register operand form.

So we just need to paper over the lack of scalar forms of this instruction, complicate
the code to choose float or double forms, and use blendv on scalars since all FP is in
xmm registers anyway.

This gives us an approximately 50% speed up for a blendv microbenchmark sequence
on SandyBridge and Haswell:
blendv : 29.73 cycles/iter
logic : 43.15 cycles/iter

No new test cases with this patch because:

1. fast-isel-select-sse.ll tests the positive side for regular X86 lowering and fast-isel
2. sse-minmax.ll and fp-select-cmp-and.ll confirm that we're not firing for scalar selects without AVX
3. fp-select-cmp-and.ll and logical-load-fold.ll confirm that we're not firing for scalar selects with constants.
