[ConstantFold] Improve the bitcast folding logic for constant vectors.
The constant folder didn't know how to always fold bitcasts of constant integer vectors. In particular, it was unable to handle the case where a constant vector had some undef elements, and the resulting (i.e. bitcasted) vector type had more elements than the original vector type. Example: %cast = bitcast <2 x i64><i64 undef, i64 2> to <4 x i32> On a little endian target, %cast could have been folded to: <4 x i32><i32 undef, i32 undef, i32 2, i32 0> This patch improves the folding logic by teaching how to correctly propagate undef elements in the folded vector.
