Issue 127486
Summary GlobalISel should have G_POISON

    Currently GlobalISel has G_IMPLICIT_DEF, which acts like `undef`. This is used to lower both `poison` and `undef` from the IR. To mirror the semantics of the IR, we need a separate representation of poison. We should introduce G_POISON to enable better optimizations, particularly when legalization introduces padding vector elements.

This change would mostly be finding all the places G_IMPLICIT_DEF is handled, and equivalently handling G_POISON. We should then migrate vector widening and other transforms to introduce poison instead of undef.
