[Passes][VectorCombine] enable early run generally and try load folds

An early run of VectorCombine was added with D102496 specifically to
deal with unnecessary vector ops produced with the C matrix extension.
This patch is proposing to try those folds in general and add a pair
of load folds to the menu.

The load transform will partly solve (see PhaseOrdering diffs) a
longstanding vectorization perf bug by removing redundant loads via GVN:
issue #17113

The main reason for not enabling the extra pass generally in the initial
patch was compile-time cost. The cost of VectorCombine was significantly
(surprisingly) improved with:

...so the extra run is going to cost very little now - the total cost of
the 2 runs should be less than the 1 run before that micro-optimization:

It may be possible to reduce the cost slightly more with a few more
earlier-exits like that, but it's probably in the noise based on timing
experiments.
