SelectionDAG shuffle nodes do not allow operands with different numbers of

elements than the result vector type.  So, when an instruction like:

%8 = shufflevector <2 x float> %4, <2 x float> %7, <4 x i32> <i32 1, i32 0, i32 3, i32 2>

is translated to a DAG, each operand is changed to a concat_vectors node that appends 2 undef elements.  That is:

shuffle [a,b], [c,d] is changed to:
shuffle [a,b,u,u], [c,d,u,u]

That's probably the right thing for x86 but for NEON, we'd much rather have:

shuffle [a,b,c,d], undef

Teach the DAG combiner how to do that transformation for ARM.  Radar 8597007.
