C API: functions to get mask of a ShuffleVector
This commit fixes a regression (from LLVM 10 to LLVM 11 RC3) in the LLVM C API. Previously, commit 1ee6ec2b removed the mask operand from the ShuffleVector instruction, storing the mask data separately in the instruction instead; this reduced the number of operands of ShuffleVector from 3 to 2. AFAICT, this change unintentionally caused a regression in the LLVM C API. Specifically, it is no longer possible to get the mask of a ShuffleVector instruction through the C API. This patch introduces new functions which together allow a C API user to get the mask of a ShuffleVector instruction, restoring the functionality which was previously available through LLVMGetOperand(). This patch also adds tests for this change to the llvm-c-test executable, which involved adding support for InsertElement, ExtractElement, and ShuffleVector itself (as well as constant vectors) to echo.cpp. Previously, vector operations weren't tested at all in echo.ll. I also fixed some ...
