Commits r213915 and r214718 fix recognition of shuffle masks for vmrg*
and vpku*um instructions for a little-endian target, by swapping the
input arguments. The vsldoi instruction requires similar treatment,
and also needs its shift count adjusted for little endian.

This is a bug fix candidate for release 3.5 (and hopefully the last of
those for PowerPC).

My original LE implementation of the vsldoi instruction, with its
altivec.h interfaces vec_sld and vec_vsldoi, produces incorrect
shufflevector operations in the LLVM IR. Correct code is generated
because the back end handles the incorrect shufflevector in a
consistent manner.
This patch and a companion patch for Clang correct this problem by
removing the fixup from altivec.h and the corresponding fixup from the
PowerPC back end. Several test cases are also modified to reflect the
now-correct LLVM IR.

In commit r213915, Bill fixed little-endian usage of vmrgh* and vmrgl*
by swapping the input arguments. As it turns out, the exact same fix
is also required for the vpkuhum/vpkuwum patterns.
This fixes another regression in llvmpipe when vector support is
enabled.

Because the PowerPC vmrgh* and vmrgl* instructions have a built-in
big-endian bias, it is necessary to swap their inputs in little-endian
mode when using them to implement a vector shuffle. This was
previously missed in the vector LE implementation.
There was already logic to distinguish between unary and "normal"
vmrg* vector shuffles, so this patch extends that logic to use a third
option: "swapped" vmrg* vector shuffles that are used for little
endian in place of the "normal" ones.
I've updated the vec-shuffle-le.ll test to check for the expected
register ordering on the generated instructions.
This bug was discovered when testing the LE and ELFv2 patches for
safety if they were backported to 3.4. A different vectorization
decision was made in 3.4 than on mainline trunk, and that exposed the
problem. I've verified this fix takes care of that issue.

Various masks on shufflevector instructions are recognizable as
specific PowerPC instructions (vector pack, vector merge, etc.).
There is existing code in PPCISelLowering.cpp to recognize the correct
patterns for big endian code. The masks for these instructions are
different for little endian code due to the big-endian numbering
employed by these instructions. This patch adds the recognition code
for little endian.
I've added a new test case test/CodeGen/PowerPC/vec_shuffle_le.ll for
this. The existing recognizer test (vec_shuffle.ll) is unnecessarily
verbose and difficult to read, so I felt it was better to add a new
test rather than modify the old one.
