BUILD_VECTOR nodes, e.g.:
(concat_vectors (BUILD_VECTOR a1, a2, a3, a4), (BUILD_VECTOR b1, b2, b3, b4))
->
(BUILD_VECTOR a1, a2, a3, a4, b1, b2, b3, b4)
This fixes an issue with AVX, where a sequence was not recognized as a 256-bit
vbroadcast due to the concat_vectors.

Previously we used three instructions to broadcast an immediate value into a
vector register.
On Sandybridge we continue to load the broadcasted value from the constant pool.

match splats in the form (splat (scalar_to_vector (load ...))) whenever
the load can be folded. All the logic and instruction emission is
working but because of PR8156, there are no ways to match loads, cause
they can never be folded for splats. Thus, the tests are XFAILed, but
I've tested and exercised all the logic using a relaxed version for
checking the foldable loads, as if the bug was already fixed. This
should work out of the box once PR8156 gets fixed since MayFoldLoad will
work as expected.
