gallivm: optimize 16bit->32bit gather path a bit

LLVM can't really optimize anything which crosses scalar/vector boundaries,
so help a bit with some particular gather operations when the width is
expanded (only do it for 16->32bit expansion for now), by doing expansion
after fetch. That is probably a better solution anyway even if llvm would
recognize it, makes for cleaner IR...
