This patch changes our defualt legalization behavior for narrow vectors with i8/i16/i32/i64 scalar types from promotion to widening. This keeps the elements widths the same and pads with undef elements. I believe this is a better legalization strategy. But it carries some issues due to the fragmented vector ISA. For example i8 shifts and multiplies get widened and then later have to be promoted/split into vXi16 vectors.
I'm sure there are still some issues in here, but I wanted to get this patch up so we could start spotting the remaining issues.
This seems... a bit surprising.
