This patch aims to make sure that any such constant that can be generated
with a vector instruction (for example VGBM) is recognized as such during
legalization and kept as a target independent node through post-legalize
DAGCombining.
Two new functions named isVectorConstantLegal() and loadVectorConstant()
replace old ways of handling vector/FP constants.
A new struct named SystemZVectorConstantInfo is used to cache the results of
isVectorConstantLegal() and pass them onto loadVectorConstant().
Support for fp128 constants in the presence of FeatureVectorEnhancements1
(z14) has been added.

This adds support for the new 128-bit vector float instructions of z14.
Note that these instructions actually only operate on the f128 type,
since only each 128-bit vector register can hold only one 128-bit
float value. However, this is still preferable to the legacy 128-bit
float instructions, since those operate on pairs of floating-point
registers (so we can hold at most 8 values in registers), while the
new instructions use single vector registers (so we hold up to 32
value in registers).
Adding support includes:
- Enabling the instructions for the assembler/disassembler.
- CodeGen for the instructions. This includes allocating the f128
type now to the VR128BitRegClass instead of FP128BitRegClass.
- Scheduler description support for the instructions.
Note that for a small number of operations, we have no new vector
instructions (like integer <-> 128-bit float conversions), and so
we use the legacy instruction and then reformat the operand
(i.e. copy between a pair of floating-point registers and a
vector register).
