The PPC vector cost model values for insert/extract element reflect older
processors that lacked vector insert/extract and move-to/move-from VSR
instructions. Update getVectorInstrCost to give appropriate values for when
the newer instructions are present.

This provides more realistic costs for the insert/extractelement instructions
(which are load/store pairs), accounts for the cheap unaligned Altivec load
sequence, and for unaligned VSX load/stores.
Bad news:
MultiSource/Applications/sgefa/sgefa - 35% slowdown (this will require more investigation)
SingleSource/Benchmarks/McGill/queens - 20% slowdown (we no longer vectorize this, but it was a constant store that was scalarized)
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/pcompress2/pcompress2 - 2% slowdown
Good news:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/ary3 - 54% speedup
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/ary - 40% speedup
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Ptrdist/ks/ks - 35% speedup
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/neural/neural - 30% speedup
MultiSource/Benchmarks/TSVC/Symbolics-flt/Symbolics-flt - 20% speedup
Unfortunately, estimating the costs of the stack-based scalarization sequences
is hard, and adjusting these costs is like a game of whac-a-mole :( I'll
revisit this again after we have better codegen for vector extloads and
truncstores and unaligned load/stores.

Thanks to help from Nadav and Hal, I have a more reasonable (and even
correct!) approach. This specifically penalizes the insertelement
and extractelement operations for the performance hit that will occur
on PowerPC processors.
