[SLP] Truncate expressions to minimum required bit width

This change attempts to produce vectorized integer expressions in bit widths
that are narrower than their scalar counterparts. The need for demotion arises
especially on architectures in which the small integer types (e.g., i8 and i16)
are not legal for scalar operations but can still be used in vectors. Like
similar work done within the loop vectorizer, we rely on InstCombine to perform
the actual type-shrinking. We use the DemandedBits analysis and
ComputeNumSignBits from ValueTracking to determine the minimum required bit
width of an expression.
