[InstCombine] Expand the simplification of pow() into exp2()
Generalize the simplification of `pow(2.0, y)` to `pow(2.0 ** n, y)` for all scalar and vector types. This improvement helps some benchmarks in SPEC CPU2000 and CPU2006, such as 252.eon, 447.dealII, 453.povray. Otherwise, no significant regressions on x86-64 or A64.
