[x86] allow movmsk with 2-element reductions
One motivation for making this change is that the lack of using movmsk is likely
a main source of perf difference between clang and gcc on the C-Ray benchmark as
shown here:
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=gcc-clang-2019&num=5
...but this change alone isn't enough to solve that problem.
The 'all-of' examples show what is likely the worst case trade-off: we end up with
an extra instruction (or 2 if we count the 'xor' register clearing). The 'any-of'
examples look clearly better using movmsk because we've traded 2 vector instructions
for 2 scalar instructions, and movmsk may have better timing than the generic 'movq'.
If we examine the llvm-mca output for these cases, it appears that even though the
'all-of' movmsk variant looks worse on paper, it would perform better on both
Haswell and Jaguar.

Finally, there may be CPUs where movmsk is horribly slow (old AMD small cores?), but if
that's true, then we're also almost certainly making the wrong transform already for
reductions with >2 elements, so that should be fixed independently.
