As a first step towards real little-endian code generation, this patch
changes the PowerPC MC layer to actually generate little-endian object
files. This involves passing the little-endian flag through the various
layers, including down to createELFObjectWriter so we actually get basic
little-endian ELF objects, emitting instructions in little-endian order,
and handling fixups and relocations as appropriate for little-endian.
The bulk of the patch is to update most test cases in test/MC/PowerPC
to verify both big- and little-endian encodings. (The only test cases
*not* updated are those that create actual big-endian ABI code, like
the TLS tests.)
Note that while the object files are now little-endian, the generated
code itself is not yet updated, in particular, it still does not adhere
to the ELFv2 ABI.

This adds support for specifying condition registers and
condition register fields via expressions using the symbols
defined by the PowerISA, like "4*cr2+eq".

Just as with mfocrf, it is also preferable to use mtocrf instead of
mtcrf when only a single CR register is to be written.
Current code however always emits mtcrf. This probably does not matter
when using an external assembler, since the GNU assembler will in fact
automatically replace mtcrf with mtocrf when possible. It does create
inefficient code with the integrated assembler, however.
To fix this, this patch adds MTOCRF/MTOCRF8 instruction patterns and
uses those instead of MTCRF/MTCRF8 everything. Just as done in the
MFOCRF patch committed as 185556, these patterns will be converted
back to MTCRF if MTOCRF is not available on the machine.
As a side effect, this allows to modify the MTCRF pattern to accept
the full range of mask operands for the benefit of the asm parser.

This adds support for the generic forms of mtspr/mfspr
for the asm parser. The compiler will continue to use
the specialized patters for mtlr etc. since those are
needed to correctly describe data flow.

This adds support for all missing condition register logical
instructions and extended mnemonics to the asm parser.

This adds support for the extended subtract mnemonics to the asm parser:
subi
subis
subic
subic.
sub
sub.
subc

This adds support for the predicted forms of branches (+/-).
There are three cases to consider:
- Branches using a PPC::Predicate code
For these, I've added new PPC::Predicate codes corresponding
to the BO values for predicted branch forms, and updated insn
printing to print them correctly. I've also added new aliases
for the asm parser matching the new forms.
- bt/bf
I've added new aliases matching to gBC etc.
- bd(n)z variants
I've added new instruction patterns for the predicted forms.
In all cases, the new patterns are used for the asm parser only.
(The new infrastructure ought to be sufficient to allow use by
the compiler too at some point.)

This adds the bt/bf/bd(n)zt/bd(n)zf mnemonics as aliases for the
asm parser, resolving to the generic conditional patterns.

There is currently only limited support for the "absolute" variants
of branch instructions. This patch adds support for the absolute
variants of all branches that are currently otherwise supported.
This requires adding new fixup types so that the correct variant
of relocation type can be selected by the object writer.
While the compiler will continue to usually choose the relative
branch variants, this will allow the asm parser to fully support
the absolute branches, with either immediate (numerical) or
symbolic target addresses.
No change in code generation intended.

This adds support for the bd(n)zl and bd(n)zlrl instructions.
The patterns are currently used for the asm parser only.

This patch adds support for the conditional variants of bl.
The pattern is currently used by the asm parser only.

The extended branch mnemonics are supposed to use an implied CR0
if there is no explicit condition register specified. This patch
adds extra variants of the mnemonics to this effect.

This patch adds infrastructure to support extended mnemonics in the
PowerPC assembler parser. It adds support specifically for those
extended mnemonics that LLVM will itself generate.
The test case lists *all* extended mnemonics according to the
PowerPC ISA v2.06 Book I, but marks those not yet supported
as FIXME.
