As discussed in D11886, this patch moves the SSE/AVX vector blend folding to instcombiner from PerformINTRINSIC_WO_CHAINCombine (which allows us to remove this completely).
InstCombiner already had partial support for this, I just had to add support for zero (ConstantAggregateZero) masks and also the case where both selection inputs were the same (allowing us to ignore the mask).
I also moved all the relevant combine tests into InstCombine/blend_x86.ll

Fixed the argument order to select (the mask semantics to blendv* are the
inverse of select) and fixed the tests
Added parenthesis to the assert condition
Ran clang-format

Summary:
Implemented an InstCombine transformation that takes a blendv* intrinsic
call and translates it into an IR select, if the mask is constant.
This will eventually get lowered into blends with immediates if possible,
or pblendvb (with an option to further optimize if we can transform the
pblendvb into a blend+immediate instruction, depending on the selector).
It will also enable optimizations by the IR passes, which give up on
sight of the intrinsic.
Both the transformation and the lowering of its result to asm got shiny
new tests.
The transformation is a bit convoluted because of blendvp[sd]'s
definition:
Its mask is a floating point value! This forces us to convert it and get
the highest bit. I suppose this happened because the mask has type
__m128 in Intel's intrinsic and v4sf (for blendps) in gcc's builtin.
I will send an email to llvm-dev to discuss if we want to change this or
not.
