Craig Topper 3dcc0db15e [X86] Teach combineToExtendBoolVectorInReg to create opportunities for using broadcast load instructions.
If we're inserting a scalar that is smaller than the element
size of the final VT, the value of the extra bits doesn't matter.

Previously we any_extended in the scalar domain before inserting.

This patch changes this to use a broadcast of the original
scalar type and then a bitcast to the final type. This might
enable the use of a broadcast load.

This recovers regressions from 07d68c24aa19483e44db4336b0935b00a5d69949
and 9fcd212e2f678fdbdf304399a1e58ca490dc54d1 without relying on
alignment of the load.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
================================

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM,
a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers,
optimizers, and runtime environments.

LLVM is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of
the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.

Please see the documentation provided in docs/ for further
assistance with LLVM, and in particular docs/GettingStarted.rst for getting
started with LLVM and docs/README.txt for an overview of LLVM's
documentation setup.

If you are writing a package for LLVM, see docs/Packaging.rst for our
suggestions.
