    PR target/106060: Improved SSE vector constant materialization on x86.

    This patch resolves PR target/106060 by providing efficient methods for
    materializing/synthesizing special "vector" constants on x86.  Currently
    there are three methods of materializing a vector constant; the most
    general is to load a vector from the constant pool, secondly "duplicated"
    constants can be synthesized by moving an integer between units and
    broadcasting (of shuffling it), and finally the special cases of the
    all-zeros vector and all-ones vectors can be loaded via a single SSE
    instruction.   This patch handle additional cases that can be synthesized
    in two instructions, loading an all-ones vector followed by another SSE
    instruction.  Following my recent patch for PR target/112992, there's
    conveniently a single place in i386-expand.cc where these special cases
    can be handled.

    Two examples are given in the original bugzilla PR for 106060.

    __m256i should_be_cmpeq_abs ()
    {
      return _mm256_set1_epi8 (1);
    }

    is now generated (with -O3 -march=x86-64-v3) as:

            vpcmpeqd        %ymm0, %ymm0, %ymm0
            vpabsb  %ymm0, %ymm0
            ret

    and

    __m256i should_be_cmpeq_add ()
    {
      return _mm256_set1_epi8 (-2);
    }

    is now generated as:

            vpcmpeqd        %ymm0, %ymm0, %ymm0
            vpaddb  %ymm0, %ymm0, %ymm0
            ret
