[InstCombine] don't widen an arbitrary sequence of vector ops (PR40032)

The problem is shown specifically for a case with vector multiply here:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40032
...and this might mask the original backend bug for ARM shown in:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39967

As the test diffs here show, we were (and probably still aren't) doing 
these kinds of transforms in a principled way. We are producing more or 
equal wide instructions than we started with in some cases, so we still 
need to restrict/correct other transforms from overstepping.

If there are perf regressions from this change, we can either carve out 
exceptions to the general IR rules, or improve the backend to do these 
transforms when we know the transform is profitable. That's probably 
similar to a change like D55448.
