[RISCV] Custom legalize <N x i128>, <4 x i256>, etc.. shuffles (#122352)

I have a particular user downstream who likes to write shuffles in terms
of unions involving _BitInt(128) types. This isn't completely crazy
because there's a bunch of code in the wild which was written with SSE
in mind, so 128 bits is a common data fragment size.

The problem is that generic lowering scalarizes this to ELEN, and we end
up with really terrible extract/insert sequences if the i128 shuffle is
between other (non-i128) operations.

I explored trying to do this via generic lowering infrastructure, and
frankly got lost. Doing this a target specific DAG is a bit ugly -
really, there's nothing hugely target specific here - but oh well. If
reviewers prefer, I could probably phrase this as a generic DAG combine,
but I'm not sure that's hugely better. If reviewers have a strong
preference on how to handle this, let me know, but I may need a bit of
help.

A couple notes:

* The argument passing weirdness is due to a missing combine to turn a
build_vector of adjacent i64 loads back into a vector load. I'm a bit
surprised we don't get that, but the isel output clearly has the
build_vector at i64.
* The splat case I plan to revisit in another patch. That's a relatively
common pattern, and the fact I have to scalarize that to avoid an
infinite loop is non-ideal.
