Add new vector operation for compress and expand bits

XMLWordPrintable

      Expand the supported set of bitwise integral lanewise operations to compress and expand bits.

      These two operations are analogous to the cross-lane _compress_ and _expand_ operations, except that they map bits rather than entire lanes. (For more information on bitwise _compress_ and _expand_ see §7-4 and §7-5 of [_Hacker's Delight_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker's_Delight) by Henry S. Warren, Addison-Wesley, 2013.)
