[InstCombine] remove useless insertelement

[Chenbing.Zheng]

Summary

Remove insertelement, if we don't use the inserted element.
extractelement (bitcast (insertelement (Vec, b)), a) -> extractelement (bitcast (Vec), a)

[RKSimon]

Shouldn't this be in InstCombinerImpl::SimplifyDemandedVectorElts ?

'SimplifyDemandedVectorElts' cannot support scalable vector type now, and it seems to be no need to break this setting.

[RKSimon]

In which case, we need a FIXME comment explaining that this should be removed once scale vectors are supported

In D78895, @huihuiz add this limit for SimplifyDemandedVectorElts. Maybe SimplifyDemandedVectorElts will no longer support scale vectors.

More likely its untested / has edge cases and they haven't the bandwidth to address it yet. @dmgreen is currently dealing with a similar limit that was added in DAG (D128918)

Adding code to foldBitcastExtElt to get around this limitation must be seen as a temporary measure only.

Are there tests for multiuse?

technically its not a wrong insert - 'useless' might be a better term!

LGTM - but please add back the FIXME that you're lost in the rebase

Add back the FIXME
