[PATCH] Lower certain build_vectors to insertps instructions

[Filipe Cabecinhas]

(sorry about the last revision. I misused arc diff)

Vectors built with zeros and elements in the same order as another
(source) vector are optimized to be built using a single insertps
instruction.
Also optimize when we move one element in a vector to a different place
in that vector while zeroing out some of the other elements.

Further optimizations are possible, described in TODO comments.
I will be implementing at least some of them in the near future.

Added some tests for different cases where this optimization triggers.
