This patch adds a pass for doing PowerPC peephole optimizations at the
MI level while the code is still in SSA form. This allows for easy
modifications to the instructions while depending on a subsequent pass
of DCE. Both passes are very fast due to the characteristics of SSA.
At this time, the only peepholes added are for cleaning up various
redundancies involving the XXPERMDI instruction. However, I would
expect this will be a useful place to add more peepholes for
inefficiencies generated during instruction selection. The pass is
placed after VSX swap optimization, as it is best to let that pass
remove unnecessary swaps before performing any remaining clean-ups.
The utility of these clean-ups are demonstrated by changes to four
existing test cases, all of which now have tighter expected code
generation. I've also added Eric Schweiz's bugpoint-reduced test from
PR25157, for which we now generate tight code. One other test started
failing for me, and I've fixed it
(test/Transforms/PlaceSafepoints/finite-loops.ll) as well; this is not
related to my changes, and I'm not sure why it works before and not
after. The problem is that the CHECK-NOT: of "statepoint" from test1
fails because of the "statepoint" in test2, and so forth. Adding a
CHECK-LABEL in between keeps the different occurrences of that string
properly scoped.

This makes one substantive change and a few stylistic changes to the
VSX swap optimization pass.
The substantive change is to permit LXSDX and LXSSPX instructions to
participate in swap optimization computations. The previous change to
insert a swap following a SUBREG_TO_REG widening operation makes this
almost trivial.
I experimented with also permitting STXSDX and STXSSPX instructions.
This can be done using similar techniques: we could insert a swap
prior to a narrowing COPY operation, and then permit these stores to
participate. I prototyped this, but discovered that the pattern of a
narrowing COPY followed by an STXSDX does not occur in any of our
test-suite code. So instead, I added commentary indicating that this
could be done.
Other TLC:
- I changed SH_COPYSCALAR to SH_COPYWIDEN to more clearly indicate
the direction of the copy.
- I factored the insertion of swap instructions into a separate
function.
Finally, I added a new test case to check that the scalar-to-vector
loads are working properly with swap optimization.
