As we already return true from needsAggressiveScheduling() for the most recent
hardware it would be cleaner to just return true for all PowerPC hardware.

We want to run the Machine Scheduler instead of the List Scheduler after RA.
Checked with a performance run on a Power 9 machine with SPEC 2006 and while
some benchmarks improved and others degraded the geomean was slightly improved
with the Machine Scheduler.

`llc -march` is problematic because it only switches the target
architecture, but leaves the operating system unchanged. This
occasionally leads to indeterministic tests because the OS from
LLVM_DEFAULT_TARGET_TRIPLE is used.
However we can simply always use `llc -mtriple` instead. This changes
all the tests to do this to avoid people using -march when they copy and
paste parts of tests.
This patch:
- Removes -march if the .ll file already has a matching `target triple`
directive or -mtriple argument.
- In all other cases changes -march=ppc32/-march=ppc64 to
-mtriple=ppc32--/-mtriple=ppc64--

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.

1) check whether the alignment of the memory is sufficient for the
*merged* store or load to be efficient.
Not doing so can result in some ridiculously poor code generation, if
merging creates a vector operation which must be aligned but isn't.
2) DON'T check that the alignment of each load/store is equal. If
you're merging 2 4-byte stores, the first *might* have 8-byte
alignment, but the second certainly will have 4-byte alignment. We do
want to allow those to be merged.
