Chris Lattner e6f7c267df Change handling of illegal vector types to widen when possible instead of
expanding: e.g. <2 x float> -> <4 x float> instead of -> 2 floats.  This
affects two places in the code: handling cross block values and handling
function return and arguments.  Since vectors are already widened by 
legalizetypes, this gives us much better code and unblocks x86-64 abi
and SPU abi work.

For example, this (which is a silly example of a cross-block value):
define <4 x float> @test2(<4 x float> %A) nounwind {
 %B = shufflevector <4 x float> %A, <4 x float> undef, <2 x i32> <i32 0, i32 1>
 %C = fadd <2 x float> %B, %B
  br label %BB
BB:
 %D = fadd <2 x float> %C, %C
 %E = shufflevector <2 x float> %D, <2 x float> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 1, i32 undef, i32 undef>
 ret <4 x float> %E
}

Now compiles into:

_test2:                                 ## @test2
## BB#0:
 addps %xmm0, %xmm0
 addps %xmm0, %xmm0
 ret

previously it compiled into:

_test2:                                 ## @test2
## BB#0:
 addps %xmm0, %xmm0
 pshufd $1, %xmm0, %xmm1
                                        ## kill: XMM0<def> XMM0<kill> XMM0<def>
 insertps $0, %xmm0, %xmm0
 insertps $16, %xmm1, %xmm0
 addps %xmm0, %xmm0
 ret

This implements rdar://8230384
