Pixman uses __builtin_shuffle builtin function in the code, which
relies on GCC vector extensions. So we also need to have it in the
configure.ac test snippet code.

GCC and Clang have different incompatible builtin functions for
this functionality. Clang 4 now supports "shift vector by scalar"
operation in its vector extension too and could pass the old
incomplete variant of the configure check, but failed to compile
pixman.
