[X86] Improve the lowering of BITCAST dag nodes from type f64 to type v2i32 (and vice versa).

Before this patch, the backend always emitted a store+load sequence to
bitconvert from f64 to i64 the input operand of a ISD::BITCAST dag node that
performed a bitconvert from type MVT::f64 to type MVT::v2i32. The resulting
i64 node was then used to build a v2i32 vector.

With this patch, the backend now produces a cheaper SCALAR_TO_VECTOR from
MVT::f64 to MVT::v2f64. That SCALAR_TO_VECTOR is then followed by a "free"
bitcast to type MVT::v4i32. The elements of the resulting
v4i32 are then extracted to build a v2i32 vector (which is illegal and
therefore promoted to MVT::v2i64).

This is in general cheaper than emitting a stack store+load sequence
to bitconvert the operand from type f64 to type i64.
