The VSX versions have the advantage of a full 64-register target whereas the FP
ones have the advantage of lower latency and higher throughput. So what we’re
after is using the faster instructions in low register pressure situations and
using the larger register file in high register pressure situations.
The heuristic chooses between the following 7 pairs of instructions.
PPC::LXSSPX vs PPC::LFSX
PPC::LXSDX vs PPC::LFDX
PPC::STXSSPX vs PPC::STFSX
PPC::STXSDX vs PPC::STFDX
PPC::LXSIWAX vs PPC::LFIWAX
PPC::LXSIWZX vs PPC::LFIWZX
PPC::STXSIWX vs PPC::STFIWX

Fixes PR30730.
This is a re-commit of a pulled commit. The commit was pulled because some
software projects contained uses of Altivec vectors that violated alignment
requirements. Known issues have now been fixed.

Removing sensitivity to scheduling (by using CHECK-DAG instead of CHECK) and
some other minor corrections.
In preparation to commit Power9 processor model.

This is the final patch in the series of patches that improves
BUILD_VECTOR handling on PowerPC. This adds a few peephole optimizations
to remove redundant instructions. It also adds a large test case which
encompasses a large set of code patterns that build vectors - this test
case was the motivator for this series of patches.
