This patch introduces a generic function to determine whether a given vector type is known to be a splat value for the specified demanded elements, recursing up the DAG looking for BUILD_VECTOR or VECTOR_SHUFFLE splat patterns.
It also keeps track of the elements that are known to be UNDEF - it returns true if all the demanded elements are UNDEF (as this may be useful under some circumstances), so this needs to be handled by the caller.
A wrapper variant is also provided that doesn't take the DemandedElts or UndefElts arguments for cases where we just want to know if the SDValue is a splat or not (with/without UNDEFS).
I had hoped to completely remove the X86 local version of this function, but I'm seeing some regressions in shift/rotate codegen that will take a little longer to fix and I hope to get this in sooner so I can continue work on PR38243 which needs more capable splat detection.
