[InstCombine] fold shuffles of insert_subvectors

This should be a valid exception to the general rule of not creating new shuffle masks in IR...
because we already do it. :)
Also, DAG combining/legalization will undo this by widening the shuffle back out if needed.

Explanation for how we already do this: SLP or vector source can create chains of insert/extract
as shown in 1 of the examples from PR16739:
https://godbolt.org/z/NlK7rA
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16739

And we expect instcombine or DAGCombine to clean that up by creating relatively simple shuffles.
