This basic combine was surprisingly missing.
AMDGPU legalizes many operations in terms of 32-bit vector components,
so not doing this results in many extra copies and subregister extracts
that need to be cleaned up later.
InstCombine already does this for the hasOneUse case. The target hook
is to fix a handful of tests which break (e.g. ARM/vmov.ll) which turn
from a vector materialize repeated immediate instruction to a constant
vector load with more scalar copies from it.

This can be done only with moves which theoretically
will optimize better later.
Although this transform increases the instruction count,
it should be code size / cycle count neutral in the worst
VALU case. It also seems to slightly improve a couple
of testcases due to other DAG combines this exposes.
This is probably slightly worse for the SALU case, so
it might be better to handle this during moveToVALU,
although then you lose some simplifications like
the load width reducing in the simple testcase.

Summary:
This change is part of a series of commits dedicated to have a single
DataLayout during compilation by using always the one owned by the
module.
