This patch addresses the problem of poor code generation for the zext

v8i8 -> v8i32 on AVX machines. The codegen often scalarizes ANY_EXTEND nodes.
The DAGCombiner has two optimizations that can mitigate the problem. First,
if all of the operands of a BUILD_VECTOR node are extracted from an ZEXT/ANYEXT
nodes, then it is possible to create a new simplified BUILD_VECTOR which uses
UNDEFS/ZERO values to eliminate the scalar ZEXT/ANYEXT nodes.
Second, another dag combine optimization lowers BUILD_VECTOR into a shuffle
vector instruction.

In the case of zext v8i8->v8i32 on AVX, a value in an XMM register is to be
shuffled into a wide YMM register.

This patch modifes the second optimization and allows the creation of
shuffle vectors even when the newly generated vector and the original vector
from which we extract the values are of different types.
