Change the PPCISelLowering.cpp function that decides to avoid update form in
favor of partial vector loads to know about newer load types and to not be
confused by the chain operand.

When switched to the MI scheduler for P9, the hardware is modeled as out of order.
However, inside the MI Scheduler algorithm, we still use the in-order scheduling model
as the MicroOpBufferSize isn't set. The MI scheduler take it as the hw cannot buffer
the op. So, only when all the available instructions issued, the pending instruction
could be scheduled. That is not true for our P9 hw in fact.
This patch is trying to enable the Out-of-Order scheduling model. The buffer size 44 is
picked from the P9 hw spec, and the perf test indicate that, its value won't hurt the cpu2017.
With this patch, there are 3 specs improved over 3% and 1 spec deg over 3%. The detail is as follows:
x264_r: +6.95%
cactuBSSN_r: +6.94%
lbm_r: +4.11%
xz_r: -3.85%
And the GEOMEAN for all the C/C++ spec in spec2017 is about 0.18% improved.

Improve the current vec_abs support on P9, generate ISD::ABS node for vector types,
combine ABS node to VABSD node for some special cases to make use of P9 VABSD* insns,
do custom lowering to vsub(vneg later)+vmax if it has no combination opportunity.

With some patch adopted for Power9 vabsd* insns, some CHECKs can't get the expected results.
But it's false alarm, we should update the case more robust.

This patch addresses:
- Implementation within PPCISelLowering.cpp to check if we should use direct
load into vector instructions (such as lxsd/lfd ) when the scalar_to_vector
function is used; which will allow us to catch as many cases of the
scalar_to_vector uses as possible to translate the ld->mtvsrd sequence into
lxsd.
- Test cases to exhibit the behaviour of emitting lxsd/lfd.
