Currently, X86 backend only has a global one-size-fits-all `FeatureFastVariableShuffle` feature,
which controls profitability of both the cross-lane and per-lane variable shuffles.
I guess, this has been fine so far.
But at least on AMD Zen 3, while per-line variable shuffles (e.g. `VPSHUFB`)
are as fast as as shuffles with fixed/immediate mask,
while lane-crossing shuffles, e.g. `VPERMPS` is performing worse.
So to get the benefits of variable-mask shuffles, but not the drawbacks of lane-crossing shuffles,
as suggested by @RKSimon, split the feature flag into two.

Followup to D92645 - remove the remaining places where we create X86ISD::SUBV_BROADCAST, and fold splatted vector loads to X86ISD::SUBV_BROADCAST_LOAD instead.
Remove all the X86SubVBroadcast isel patterns, including all the fallbacks for if memory folding failed.
This patch uses partial DemandedElts masks to further simplify target shuffle chains and finally starts making target shuffle combining part of SimplifyDemandedBits/SimplifyDemandedVectorElts.
We already manage this for Depth == 0 cases, where combineX86ShuffleChain would early-out if the shuffle combined to the same op, but the patch generalizes this by manipulating the depth handling of combineX86ShufflesRecursively - calling with a new Depth = 0 and reducing the maximum shuffle combine depth accordingly.

-fno-PIC and -fPIE code generally cannot be linked in -shared mode and there is no benefit accessing via local aliases.
Actually, a .Lfoo$local reference will be converted to a STT_SECTION (if no section relaxation) reference which will cause the section symbol (sizeof(Elf64_Sym)=24) to be generated.
For the supported binops (basic arithmetic, logicals + shifts), if we fail to simplify the demanded vector elts, then call SimplifyMultipleUseDemandedBits and try to peek through ops to remove unnecessary dependencies.
This helps with PR40502.

For a MC_GlobalAddress reference to a dso_local external GlobalValue with a definition, emit .Lfoo$local to avoid a relocation.
-fno-pic and -fpie can infer dso_local but -fpic cannot. In the future,
we can explore the possibility of inferring dso_local with -fpic. As the
description of D73228 says, LLVM's existing IPO optimization behaviors
(like -fno-semantic-interposition) and a previous assembly behavior give
us enough license to be aggressive here.

The assert that caused this to be reverted should be fixed now.
Original commit message:
This patch changes our defualt legalization behavior for 16, 32, and
64 bit vectors with i8/i16/i32/i64 scalar types from promotion to
widening. For example, v8i8 will now be widened to v16i8 instead of
promoted to v8i16. This keeps the elements widths the same and pads
with undef elements. We believe this is a better legalization strategy.
But it carries some issues due to the fragmented vector ISA. For
example, i8 shifts and multiplies get widened and then later have
to be promoted/split into vXi16 vectors.
This has the potential to cause regressions so we wanted to get
it in early in the 10.0 cycle so we have plenty of time to
address them.
Next steps will be to merge tests that explicitly test the command
line option. And then we can remove the option and its associated
code.

Before combining insert_subvector(insert_subvector(vec, sub0, c0), sub1, c1) patterns, ensure that the subvectors are all the same type. On AVX512 targets especially we might have a mixture of 128/256 subvector insertions.

PR42819 showed an issue that we couldn't handle the case where we demanded a 'sub-sub-vector' of the SUBV_BROADCAST 'sub-vector' source.
This patch recognizes these cases and extracts the sub-sub-vector instead of trying to broadcast to a type smaller than the 'sub-vector' source.

The build_vector will become a constant pool load. By using the
desired type initially, it ensures we don't generate a bitcast
of the constant pool load which will need to be folded with
the load.
While experimenting with another patch, I noticed that when the
load type and the constant pool type don't match, then
SimplifyDemandedBits can't handle it. While we should probably
fix that, this was a simple way to fix the issue I saw.

This shows up as a side issue to the main problem for the AVX target example from PR37428:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37428 - https://godbolt.org/z/7tpRa3
But as we can see in the pile of existing test diffs, it's actually a widespread problem
that affects any AVX or later target. Apart from a couple of oddballs, I think these are
all improvements for the reasons stated in the code comment: we do not want to enable YMM
unnecessarily (avoid vzeroupper and frequency throttling) and some cores split 256-bit
stores anyway.
We could say that MergeConsecutiveStores() is going overboard on some of these examples,
but that won't solve the problem completely. But that is a reason I'm proposing this as
a lowering rather than a combine: we will infinite loop fighting the merge code if we try
this earlier.
