PartialEq is fundamentally broken for stdsimd types #511

Description

@gamozolabs

The following code triggers an assertion, which checks if !(==) is the same as !=.

In this case the issue only occurs when there are different values in the vector. The current tests only check that PartialEq is working in the splat against splat case, which it does work correctly. However when there is a different value in the vector (non-splatted), PartialEq is incorrect.

This issue also occurs when using u32x4 and mask values. It does not seem to be an issue with just the 512-bit emulation.

Tests should also be expanded to test non-splatted cases.

#![feature(stdsimd)]

use std::simd::u32x16;

fn main() {
    let foo = u32x16::new(
        0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
        0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1,
    );
    let target = u32x16::splat(1);
    
    print!("Are they different? {}\n", foo != target);
    print!("Are they equal?     {}\n", foo == target);
    
    assert!((foo != target) == !(foo == target));
}

This will result in
