Currently we have a number of tests that fail with -verify-machineinstrs.
To detect this cases earlier we add the option to the testcases with the
exception of tests that will currently fail with this option. PR 27456 keeps
track of this failures.
No code review, as discussed with Hal Finkel.

Chapter 3 of the QPX manual states that, "Scalar floating-point load
instructions, defined in the Power ISA, cause a replication of the source data
across all elements of the target register." Thus, if we have a load followed
by a QPX splat (from the first lane), the splat is redundant. This adds a late
MI-level pass to remove the redundant splats in some of these cases
(specifically when both occur in the same basic block).
This optimization is scheduled just prior to post-RA scheduling. It can't happen
before anything that might replace the load with some already-computed quantity
(i.e. store-to-load forwarding).
