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.

r225135 added the ability to materialize i64 constants using rotations in order
to reduce the instruction count. Sometimes we can use a rotation only with some
extra masking, so that we take advantage of the fact that generating a bunch of
extra higher-order 1 bits is easy using li/lis.

Materializing full 64-bit constants on PPC64 can be expensive, requiring up to
5 instructions depending on the locations of the non-zero bits. Sometimes
materializing a rotated constant, and then applying the inverse rotation, requires
fewer instructions than the direct method. If so, do that instead.
In r225132, I added support for forming constants using bit inversion. In
effect, this reverts that commit and replaces it with rotation support. The bit
inversion is useful for turning constants that are mostly ones into ones that
are mostly zeros (thus enabling a more-efficient shift-based materialization),
but the same effect can be obtained by using negative constants and a rotate,
and that is at least as efficient, if not more.
