This patch improves the lowering of v4f32 and v4i32 build_vector dag nodes
that are known to have at least two non-zero elements.
With this patch, a build_vector that performs a blend with zero is
converted into a shuffle. This is done to let the shuffle legalizer expand
the dag node in a optimal way. For example, if we know that a build_vector
performs a blend with zero, we can try to lower it as a movq/blend instead of
always selecting an insertps.
This patch also improves the logic that lowers a build_vector into a insertps
with zero masking. See for example the extra test cases added to test sse41.ll.

Update the entire regression test suite for the new shuffles. Remove
most of the old testing which was devoted to the old shuffle lowering
path and is no longer relevant really. Also remove a few other random
tests that only really exercised shuffles and only incidently or without
any interesting aspects to them.
Benchmarking that I have done shows a few small regressions with this on
LNT, zero measurable regressions on real, large applications, and for
several benchmarks where the loop vectorizer fires in the hot path it
shows 5% to 40% improvements for SSE2 and SSE3 code running on Sandy
Bridge machines. Running on AMD machines shows even more dramatic
improvements.
When using newer ISA vector extensions the gains are much more modest,
but the code is still better on the whole. There are a few regressions
being tracked (PR21137, PR21138, PR21139) but by and large this is
expected to be a win for x86 generated code performance.
It is also more correct than the code it replaces. I have fuzz tested
this extensively with ISA extensions up through AVX2 and found no
crashes or miscompiles (yet...). The old lowering had a few miscompiles
and crashers after a somewhat smaller amount of fuzz testing.
There is one significant area where the new code path lags behind and
that is in AVX-512 support. However, there was *extremely little*
support for that already and so this isn't a significant step backwards
and the new framework will probably make it easier to implement lowering
that uses the full power of AVX-512's table-based shuffle+blend (IMO).
Many thanks to Quentin, Andrea, Robert, and others for benchmarking
assistance. Thanks to Adam and others for help with AVX-512. Thanks to
Hal, Eric, and *many* others for answering my incessant questions about
how the backend actually works. =]
I will leave the old code path in the tree until the 3 PRs above are at
least resolved to folks' satisfaction. Then I will rip it (and 1000s of
lines of code) out. =] I don't expect this flag to stay around for very
long. It may not survive next week.

This changes the SelectionDAG scheduling preference to source
order. Soon, the SelectionDAG scheduler can be bypassed saving
a nice chunk of compile time.
Performance differences that result from this change are often a
consequence of register coalescing. The register coalescer is far from
perfect. Bugs can be filed for deficiencies.
On x86 SandyBridge/Haswell, the source order schedule is often
preserved, particularly for small blocks.
Register pressure is generally improved over the SD scheduler's ILP
mode. However, we are still able to handle large blocks that require
latency hiding, unlike the SD scheduler's BURR mode. MI scheduler also
attempts to discover the critical path in single-block loops and
adjust heuristics accordingly.
The MI scheduler relies on the new machine model. This is currently
unimplemented for AVX, so we may not be generating the best code yet.
Unit tests are updated so they don't depend on SD scheduling heuristics.

This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.

instruction lower optimization" in the pre-RA scheduler.
The optimization, rather the hack, was done before MI use-list was available.
Now we should be able to implement it in a better way, perhaps in the
two-address pass until a MI scheduler is available.
Now that the scheduler has to backtrack to handle call sequences. Adding
artificial scheduling constraints is just not safe. Furthermore, the hack
is not taking all the other scheduling decisions into consideration so it's just
as likely to pessimize code. So I view disabling this optimization goodness
regardless of PR11314.

DomainValues that are only used by "don't care" instructions are now
collapsed to the first possible execution domain after all basic blocks
have been processed. This typically means the PS domain on x86.
For example, the vsel_i64 and vsel_double functions in sse2-blend.ll are
completely collapsed to the PS domain instead of containing a mix of
execution domains created by isel.

The xorps instruction is smaller than pxor, so prefer that encoding.
The ExecutionDepsFix pass will switch the encoding to pxor and xorpd
when appropriate.
