[GISEL] G_SPLAT_VECTOR can take a splat that is larger than the vector element (#86974)

This is what SelectionDAG does. We'd like to reuse SelectionDAG
patterns.

 Create a vector where all elements are the scalar from the source operand.
 
+The type of the operand must be equal to or larger than the vector element
+type. If the operand is larger than the vector element type, the scalar is
+implicitly truncated to the vector element type.
