This is an extension of the existing min/max+select fold (which already
has a very large number of variations) to allow a vector shuffle because
that's what we have in the motivating example from issue #42100.
A couple of Alive2 checks of variants (I don't know how to generalize
these in Alive):

And verify the PR42100 test:
https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/3EcASf
It's possible there is some generalization of the fold or a
VectorCombine/SLP answer for the motivating test, but I haven't found a
better/smaller solution yet.
We can also add even more variants here as follow-up patches. For example,
we can have shuffle followed by min/max; we also don't have this
canonicalization or the reverse:

The phase ordering test is the almost unoptimized IR for the example
in issue #42100; it was passed through -mem2reg to reduce obvious
excessive load/store and other noise.

This extends e5d15e116292 to handle the inverse predicates
(there's probably a more elegant way to specify the preds).
These patterns correspond to the existing simplify:
max (min X, Y), X --> X
...and extra preds for (non)equality.
The tests cycle through all 10 icmp preds for each min/max
variant with 4 swapped operand patterns each (and the min/max
operands are commuted in every other test within those).

This is similar to the existing simplify:
max (max X, Y), X --> max X, Y
...but the select condition can be one of
several predicates as shown in the tests.
The tests cycle through all 10 icmp preds for
each min/max variant with 4 swapped operand
patterns each (and the min/max operands are
commuted in every other test within those).
