Hal Finkel 7c5cb066d0 [PowerPC] Enable printing instructions using aliases
TableGen had been nicely generating code to print a number of instructions using
shorter aliases (and PowerPC has plenty of short mnemonics), but we were not
calling it. For some of the aliases we support in the parser, TableGen can't
infer the "inverse" alias relationship, so there is still more to do.

Thus, after some hours of updating test cases...

Hal Finkel 2345347eb9 Add a disassembler to the PowerPC backend
The tests for the disassembler were adapted from the encoder tests, and for the
most part, the output from the disassembler matches that encoder-test inputs.
There are some places where more-informative mnemonics could be produced
(notably for the branch instructions), and those cases are noted in the tests
with FIXMEs.

Future work includes:

 - Generating more-informative mnemonics when possible (this may also be done
   in the printer).

 - Remove the dependence on positional "numbered" operand-to-variable mapping
   (for both encoding and decoding).

 - Internally using 64-bit instruction variants in 64-bit mode (if this turns
   out to matter).
