This patch splits can_vec_perm_p into two functions: can_vec_perm_var_p
for testing permute operations with variable selection vectors, and
can_vec_perm_const_p for testing permute operations with specific
constant selection vectors.  This means that we can pass the constant
selection vector by reference.

Constant permutes can still use a variable permute as a fallback.
A later patch adds a check to makre sure that we don't truncate the
vector indices when doing this.

However, have_whole_vector_shift checked:

  if (direct_optab_handler (vec_perm_const_optab, mode) == CODE_FOR_nothing)
    return false;

which had the effect of disallowing the fallback to variable permutes.
I'm not sure whether that was the intention or whether it was just
supposed to short-cut the loop on targets that don't support permutes.
(But then why bother?  The first check in the loop would fail and
we'd bail out straightaway.)

The patch adds a parameter for disallowing the fallback.  I think it
makes sense to do this for the following code in the VEC_PERM_EXPR
folder:

	  /* Some targets are deficient and fail to expand a single
	     argument permutation while still allowing an equivalent
	     2-argument version.  */
	  if (need_mask_canon && arg2 == op2
	      && !can_vec_perm_p (TYPE_MODE (type), false, &sel)
	      && can_vec_perm_p (TYPE_MODE (type), false, &sel2))

since it's really testing whether the expand_vec_perm_const code expects
a particular form.
