add `simd_splat` intrinsic
Add `simd_splat` which lowers to the LLVM canonical splat sequence.
```llvm
insertelement <N x elem> poison, elem %x, i32 0
shufflevector <N x elem> v0, <N x elem> poison, <N x i32> zeroinitializer
```
Right now we try to fake it using one of
```rust
fn splat(x: u32) -> u32x8 {
u32x8::from_array([x; 8])
}
```
or (in `stdarch`)
```rust
fn splat(value: $elem_type) -> $name {
#[derive(Copy, Clone)]
#[repr(simd)]
struct JustOne([$elem_type; 1]);
let one = JustOne([value]);
// SAFETY: 0 is always in-bounds because we're shuffling
// a simd type with exactly one element.
unsafe { simd_shuffle!(one, one, [0; $len]) }
}
```
Both of these can confuse the LLVM optimizer, producing sub-par code. Some examples:
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/60637
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/137407
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/122623

As far as I can tell there is no way to provide a fallback implementation for this intrinsic, because there is no `const` way of evaluating the number of elements (there might be issues beyond that, too). So, I added implementations for all 4 backends.
Both GCC and const-eval appear to have some issues with simd vectors containing pointers. I have a workaround for GCC, but haven't yet been able to make const-eval work. See the comments below.
Currently this just adds the intrinsic, it does not actually use it anywhere yet.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
