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.

perform a load to use blendps rather than movss when it is available.
For non-loads, blendps is *much* faster. It can execute on two ports in
Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge, and *three* ports on Haswell. This fixes
one of the "regressions" from aggressively taking the "insertion" path
in the new vector shuffle lowering.
This does highlight one problem with blendps -- it isn't commuted as
heavily as it should be. That's future work though.

computation was totally wrong, but somehow it didn't really show up with
llc.
I've added an assert that triggers on multiple existing test cases and
updated one of them to show the correct value.
There appear to still be more bugs lurking around insertps's mask. =/
However, note that this only really impacts the new vector shuffle
lowering.

vzext patterns and insert-element patterns that for SSE4 have dedicated
instructions.
With this we can enable the experimental mode in a regression test that
happens to cover some of the past set of issues. You can see that the
new logic does significantly better here on the floating point cases.
A follow-up to this change and the previous ones will hoist the logic
into helpers so it can be shared across element type sizes as in this
particular case it generalizes cleanly.

Changing code that is covered by these tests is just too hard to debug
currently, and now it will be clear the nature of the changes.

Remove && from the end of the lines to prevent tests from throwing run
lines into the background. Also, clean up places where the same command
is run multiple times by using a temporary file.

Update these tests to not use the same name even though the type of the
value differs. After PR411 hits, type planes will be gone and it will be
illegal for a name to be used twice, regardless of type.
