This handles the cases where the 6-bit splat element is odd, converting
to a three-instruction sequence to add or subtract two splats. With this
fix, the XFAIL in test/CodeGen/PowerPC/vec_constants.ll is removed.

During lowering of a BUILD_VECTOR, we look for opportunities to use a
vector splat. When the splatted value fits in 5 signed bits, a single
splat does the job. When it doesn't fit in 5 bits but does fit in 6,
and is an even value, we can splat on half the value and add the result
to itself.
This last optimization hasn't been working recently because of improved
constant folding. To circumvent this, create a pseudo VADD_SPLAT that
can be expanded during instruction selection.
