[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.
