IR builder already offers a lot of swizzling functions, such as
swizzle_xxxx, swizzle_z, or swizzle_for_size.
The swizzle_xxxx style is convenient if you statically know which
components you want. swizzle_for_size is great if you want to select
the first few components. However, if you want to select components
based on, say, a loop counter, none of those are sufficient.
IR builder actually already had support for arbitrary swizzling, but
didn't expose it. This patch exposes that API.
