…(trunci) expansion This revision adds a rewrite for sequences of vector `bitcast(trunci)` to use a more efficient sequence of vector operations comprising `shuffle` and `bitwise` ops. Such patterns appear naturally when writing quantization / dequantization functionality with the vector dialect. The rewrite performs a simple enumeration of each of the bits in the result vector and determines its provenance in the pre-trunci vector. The enumeration is used to generate the proper sequence of `shuffle`, `andi`, `ori` followed by an optional final `trunci`/`extui`. The rewrite currently only applies to 1-D non-scalable vectors and bails out if the final vector element type is not a multiple of 8. This is a failsafe heuristic determined empirically: if the resulting type is not an even number of bytes, further complexities arise that are not improved by this pattern: the heavy lifting still needs to be done by LLVM.
