[RISCV] Lower the shufflevector equivalent of vector.splice
We can lower a vector splice to a vslidedown and a vslideup. The majority of the matching code here came from X86's code for matching PALIGNR and VPALIGND/Q. The slidedown and slideup lowering don't really require it to be concatenation, but it happened to be an interesting pattern with existing analysis code I could use. This helps with cases where the scalar loop optimizer forwarded a load result from a previous loop iteration. For example, this happens if the loop uses x[i] and x[i+1] on the same iteration. The scalar optimizer will forward x[i+1] load from the previous loop to satisfy x[i] on this loop. When this get vectorized it results in one element of a vector being forwarded from the previous loop to be concatenated with elements loaded on this iteration. Whether that's more efficient than doing a shifted loaded or reloading the single scalar and using vslide1up is an interesting question. But that's not something the backend can help with.
