Rename ValueRequiresCast to ShouldOptimizeCast, to better reflect
what it does. Enhance it to return false to optimizing vector
sign extensions from vector comparisions, which is the idiom used
to get a splatted vector for a vector comparison.
Doing this breaks vector-casts.ll, add some compensating
transformations to handle the important case they cover without
depending on this canonicalization.
This fixes rdar://7434900 a serious pessimization of vector compares.
