Rename ValueRequiresCast to ShouldOptimizeCast, to better reflect

what it does.  Enhance it to return false to optimizing vector
sign extensions from vector comparisions, which is the idiom used
to get a splatted vector for a vector comparison.

Doing this breaks vector-casts.ll, add some compensating 
transformations to handle the important case they cover without
depending on this canonicalization.

This fixes rdar://7434900 a serious pessimization of vector compares.
