[InstCombine] transform bitcasted bitwise logic ops with constants (PR26702)

Given that we're not actually reducing the instruction count in the included
regression tests, I think we would call this a canonicalization step.

The motivation comes from the example in PR26702:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26702

If we hoist the bitwise logic ahead of the bitcast, the previously unoptimizable
example of:

define <4 x i32> @is_negative(<4 x i32> %x) {
  %lobit = ashr <4 x i32> %x, <i32 31, i32 31, i32 31, i32 31>
  %not = xor <4 x i32> %lobit, <i32 -1, i32 -1, i32 -1, i32 -1>
  %bc = bitcast <4 x i32> %not to <2 x i64>
  %notnot = xor <2 x i64> %bc, <i64 -1, i64 -1>
  %bc2 = bitcast <2 x i64> %notnot to <4 x i32>
  ret <4 x i32> %bc2
}

Simplifies to the expected:

define <4 x i32> @is_negative(<4 x i32> %x) {
  %lobit = ashr <4 x i32> %x, <i32 31, i32 31, i32 31, i32 31>
  ret <4 x i32> %lobit
}
