Currently combineInsertEltToShuffle turns insert_vector_elt into a
vector_shuffle, even if the inserted element is a vector with a single
element. In this case, it should be unlikely that the additional shuffle
would be more efficient than a insert_vector_elt.
Additionally, this fixes a infinite cycle in DAGCombine, where
combineInsertEltToShuffle turns a insert_vector_elt into a shuffle,
which gets turned back into a insert_vector_elt/extract_vector_elt by
a custom AArch64 lowering (in visitVECTOR_SHUFFLE).
Such insert_vector_elt and extract_vector_elt combinations can be
lowered efficiently using mov on AArch64.
There are 2 test changes in arm64-neon-copy.ll: we now use one or two
mov instructions instead of a single zip1. The reason that we need a
second mov in ins1f2 is that we have to move the result to the result
register and is not really related to the DAGCombine fold I think.
But in any case, on most uarchs, mov should be cheaper than zip1. On a
Cortex-A75 for example, zip1 is twice as expensive as mov
