[IR] Allow non-constant offsets in @llvm.vector.splice.{left,right} (#174693)
Following on from #170796, this PR implements the second part of
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-allow-non-constant-offsets-in-llvm-vector-splice/88974
by allowing non-constant offsets in the vector splice intrinsics.
Previously @llvm.vector.splice had a restriction enforced by the
verifier that the offset had to be known to be within the range of the
vector at compile time. Because we can't enforce this with non-constant
offsets, it's been relaxed so that offsets that would slide the vector
out of bounds return a poison value, similar to
insertelement/extractelement.
@llvm.vector.splice.left also previously only allowed offsets within the
range 0 <= Offset < N, but this has been relaxed to 0 <= Offset <= N so
that it's consistent with @llvm.vector.splice.right.
In lieu of the verifier checks that were removed, InstSimplify has been
taught to fold splices to poison when the offset is out of bounds.
The cost model isn't implemented in this PR, and just returns invalid
for any non-constant offsets for now. I think the correct way to cost
these non-constant offets isn't through getShuffleCost because they
can't handle variable masks, but instead just through
getIntrinsicInstCost.
