This patch adds a vec_duplicate_p helper that tests for constant
or non-constant vector duplicates. Together with the existing
const_vec_duplicate_p, this complements the gen_vec_duplicate
and gen_const_vec_duplicate added by a previous patch.
The patch uses the new routines to add more rtx simplifications
involving vector duplicates. These mirror simplifications that
we already do for CONST_VECTOR broadcasts and are needed for
variable-length SVE, which uses:
(const:M (vec_duplicate:M X))
to represent constant broadcasts instead. The simplifications do
trigger on the testsuite for variable duplicates too, and in each
case I saw the change was an improvement.
The best way of testing the new simplifications seemed to be
via selftests. The patch cribs part of David's patch here:
