[SystemZ] Handle sub-128 vectors

The ABI allows sub-128 vectors to be passed and returned in registers,
with the vector occupying the upper part of a register.  We therefore
want to legalize those types by widening the vector rather than promoting
the elements.

The patch includes some simple tests for sub-128 vectors and also tests
that we can recognize various pack sequences, some of which use sub-128
vectors as temporary results.  One of these forms is based on the pack
sequences generated by llvmpipe when no intrinsics are used.

Signed unpacks are recognized as BUILD_VECTORs whose elements are
individually sign-extended.  Unsigned unpacks can have the equivalent
form with zero extension, but they also occur as shuffles in which some
elements are zero.

Based on a patch by Richard Sandiford.
