[patch AArch64] Do not perform a vector splat for vector initialisation if it is not useful
Our current vector initialisation code will first duplicate
the first element to both lanes, then overwrite the top lane with a new
value.
This duplication can be clunky and wasteful.
Better would be to simply use the fact that we will always be overwriting
the remaining bits, and simply move the first element to the corrcet place
(implicitly zeroing all other bits).
We also need a new pattern in simplify-rtx.c:simplify_ternary_operation ,
to ensure we can still simplify:
(vec_merge:OUTER
(vec_duplicate:OUTER x:INNER)
(subreg:OUTER y:INNER 0)
(const_int N))
To:
(vec_concat:OUTER x:INNER y:INNER) or (vec_concat y x)
