While most other SIMD bitwise operations are tracked in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=248639, I'm splitting off the following instructions: - i8x16.shl, i8x16.shr_s, i8x16.shr_u - i8x16.popcnt into this bug so they don't hold up the other patch. None of these instructions are supported natively on Intel, at least without AVX-512, and they also aren't easy to emulate. So they require some additional effort to implement necessary supporting instructions and figure out the best isel.

Looks like despite logical right-shift being supported for 64-bit elements, arithmetic right-shift is only supported with AVX-512 (which we really can't assume will be present). So we also need to emulate i64x2.shr_s.
