Sanjay Patel 538a8f0227 [InstCombine] convert bitcast-shuffle to vector trunc
As discussed in D76983, that patch can turn a chain of insert/extract
with scalar trunc ops into bitcast+extract and existing instcombine
vector transforms end up creating a shuffle out of that (see the
PhaseOrdering test for an example). Currently, that process requires
at least this sequence: -instcombine -early-cse -instcombine.

Before D76983, the sequence of insert/extract would reach the SLP
vectorizer and become a vector trunc there.

Based on a small sampling of public targets/types, converting the
shuffle to a trunc is better for codegen in most cases (and a
regression of that form is the reason this was noticed). The trunc is
clearly better for IR-level analysis as well.

This means that we can induce "spontaneous vectorization" without
invoking any explicit vectorizer passes (at least a vector cast op
may be created out of scalar casts), but that seems to be the right
choice given that we started with a chain of insert/extract, and the
backend would expand back to that chain if a target does not support
the op.

This directory contains test cases for the instcombine transformation.  The
dated tests are actual bug tests, whereas the named tests are used to test
for features that the this pass should be capable of performing.
