I have fixed several places in getSplatSourceVector and isSplatValue
to work correctly with scalable vectors. I added new support for
the ISD::SPLAT_VECTOR DAG node as one of the obvious cases we can
support with scalable vectors. In other places I have tried to do
the sensible thing, such as bail out for vector types we don't yet
support or don't intend to support.
It's not possible to add IR test cases to cover these changes, since
they are currently only ever exercised on certain targets, e.g.
only X86 targets use the result of getSplatSourceVector. I've
assumed that X86 tests already exist to test these code paths for
fixed vectors. However, I have added some AArch64 unit tests that
test the specific functions I have changed.
While we are looking at this function, let's not miss the opportunity to expand the docs here and explain what demanded elts and undef elts are! :)
