This patch adds an optimization for mask-vector BUILD_VECTOR nodes whose
elements are all constants or undef. It lowers such operations by
building up the vector via a series of integer operations, in which
multiple mask elements are inserted into a vector at a time via
i8/i16/i32/i64 element types. The final result is then bitcast from that
integer vector.

We restrict this optimization in certain circumstances when optimizing
for size. If we are required to use more than one integer insert
operation, then it will likely increase code size compared with using a
load from a constant pool.
