Summary:
When getConstant() is called for an expanded vector type, it is split into
multiple scalar constants which are then combined using appropriate build_vector
and bitcast operations.
In addition to the usual big/little endian differences, the case where the
element-order of the vector does not have the same endianness as the elements
themselves is also accounted for. For example, for v4i32 on big-endian MIPS,
the byte-order of the vector is <3210,7654,BA98,FEDC>. For little-endian, it is
<0123,4567,89AB,CDEF>.
Handling this case turns out to be a nop since getConstant() returns a splatted
vector (so reversing the element order doesn't change the value)
This fixes a number of cases in MIPS MSA where calling getConstant() during
operation legalization introduces illegal types (e.g. to legalize v2i64 UNDEF
into a v2i64 BUILD_VECTOR of illegal i64 zeros). It should also handle bigger
differences between illegal and legal types such as legalizing v2i64 into v8i16.
lowerMSASplatImm() in the MIPS backend no longer needs to avoid calling
getConstant() so this function has been updated in the same patch.
For the sake of transparency, the steps I've taken since the review are:
* Added 'virtual' to isVectorEltOrderLittleEndian() as requested. This revealed
that the MIPS tests were falsely passing because a polymorphic function was
not actually polymorphic in the reviewed patch.
* Fixed the tests that were now failing. This involved deleting the code to
handle the MIPS MSA element-order (which was previously doing an byte-order
swap instead of an element-order swap). This left
isVectorEltOrderLittleEndian() unused and it was deleted.
* Fixed build failures caused by rebasing beyond r194467-r194472. These build
failures involved the bset, bneg, and bclr instructions added in these commits
using lowerMSASplatImm() in a way that was no longer valid after this patch.
Some of these were fixed by calling SelectionDAG::getConstant() instead,
others were fixed by a new function getBuildVectorSplat() that provided the
removed functionality of lowerMSASplatImm() in a more sensible way.

Summary:
This patch (correctly) breaks some MSA tests by exposing the cases when
SelectionDAG::getConstant() produces illegal types. These have been temporarily
marked XFAIL and the XFAIL flag will be removed when
SelectionDAG::getConstant() is fixed.
There are three categories of failure:
* Immediate instructions are not selected in one endian mode.
* Immediates used in ldi.[bhwd] must be different according to endianness.
(this only affects cases where the 'wrong' ldi is used to load the correct
bitpattern. E.g. (bitcast:v2i64 (build_vector:v4i32 ...)))
* Non-immediate instructions that rely on immediates affected by the
previous two categories as part of their match pattern.
For example, the bset match pattern is the vector equivalent of
'ws | (1 << wt)'.
One test needed correcting to expect different output depending on whether big
or little endian was in use. This test was
test/CodeGen/Mips/msa/basic_operations.ll and experiences the second category
of failure shown above. The little endian version of this test is named
basic_operations_little.ll and will be merged back into basic_operations.ll in
a follow up commit now that FileCheck supports multiple check prefixes.
