[x86] narrow extract subvector of vector select
This is a potentially large perf win for AVX1 targets because of the way we auto-vectorize to 256-bit but then expect the backend to legalize/optimize for the half-implemented AVX1 ISA. On the motivating example from PR37428 (even though this patch doesn't solve the vector shift issue): https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37428 ...there's a 16% speedup when compiling with "-mavx" (perf tested on Haswell) because we eliminate the remaining 256-bit vblendv ops. I added comments on a couple of tests that require further work. If we have 256-bit logic ops separating the vselect and extract, we should probably narrow everything to 128-bit, but that requires a larger pattern match.
