I had manually removed unused prefixes from CodeGen/X86 directory for more than 100 tests.
I checked the change history for each of them at the beginning, and then I mainly focused on the format since I found all of the unused prefixes were result from either insensible copy or residuum after functional update.
I think it's OK to remove the remaining X86 tests by script now. I wrote a rough script which works for me in most tests. I put it in llvm/utils temporarily for review and hope it may help other components owners.
The tests in this patch are all generated by the tool and checked by update tool for the autogenerated tests. I skimmed them and checked about 30 tests and didn't find any unexpected changes.

While we do manage to fold integer-typed IR in middle-end,
we can't do that for the main motivational case of pointers.
There is @llvm.ptrmask() intrinsic which may or may not be helpful,
but i'm not sure it is fully considered canonical yet,
not everything is fully aware of it likely.
Name: PR44448 ptr - (ptr & C) -> ptr & (~C)
%bias = and i32 %ptr, C
%r = sub i32 %ptr, %bias
=>
%r = and i32 %ptr, ~C

The main motivational pattern involes pointer-typed values,
so this transform can't really be done in middle-end.
