On sandy bridge (PR17654) we now get
vpxor %xmm1, %xmm1, %xmm1
vpunpckhbw %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm2
vpunpcklbw %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm0
vinsertf128 $1, %xmm2, %ymm0, %ymm0
On haswell it's a simple
vpmovzxbw %xmm0, %ymm0
There is a maze of duplicated and dead transforms and patterns in this
area. Remove the dead custom lowering of zext v8i16 to v8i32, that's
already handled by LowerAVXExtend.

The optimization handles esoteric cases but adds a lot of complexity both to the X86 backend and to other backends.
This optimization disables an important canonicalization of chains of SEXT nodes and makes SEXT and ZEXT asymmetrical.
Disabling the canonicalization of consecutive SEXT nodes into a single node disables other DAG optimizations that assume
that there is only one SEXT node. The AVX mask optimizations is one example. Additionally this optimization does not update the cost model.
