    aarch64: expand VEC_PERM into ins + uzp[12]
    
    The AArch64 backend has specific strategies that can be used to expand
    VEC_PERM expression (see aarch64_expand_vec_perm_const_1).
    
    The last strategy applied if everything else fails is to use a tbl
    instruction, which is known to have very bad latency and performance
    (see aarch64_evpc_tbl). There are various improvements and additions
    that can be done to the reduce the harmful tbl instructions.
    
    The existing mechanisms work for cases that the permute can be done
    with a single existing AArch64 vector instruction, but for x264's
    first loop we need some patterns that may need two vector
    instructions.
    
    On x264, this change results in the following change in instruction
    distribution:
            tbl: 8 -> 0
            ldr: 10 -> 8 (due to the eliminated tbls)
            ins: 8 -> 16
            uzp: 8 -> 16
    A reduction of the newly introduced ins/uzp[12] sequences will be
    addressed in a follow-on change.
