Sanjay Patel 33f4a97287 [DAGCombiner] use narrow load to avoid vector extract ...

If we have (extract_subvector(load wide vector)) with no other users, 
that can just be (load narrow vector). This is intentionally conservative.
Follow-ups may loosen the one-use constraint to account for the extract cost
or just remove the one-use check.

The memop chain updating is based on code that already exists multiple times
in x86 lowering, so that should be pulled into a helper function as a follow-up.

Background: this is a potential improvement noticed via regressions caused by
making x86's peekThroughBitcasts() not loop on consecutive bitcasts (see 
comments in D33137).
