Hal Finkel fa7057a415 [PowerPC] Refactor popcnt[dw] target features
Instead of using two feature bits, one to indicate the availability of the
popcnt[dw] instructions, and another to indicate whether or not they're fast,
use a single enum. This allows more consistent control via target attribute
strings, and via Clang's command line.

Hal Finkel 7059d41622 [PowerPC] On the A2, popcnt[dw] are very slow
The A2 cores support the popcntw/popcntd instructions, but they're microcoded,
and slower than our default software emulation. Specifically, popcnt[dw] take
approximately 74 cycles, whereas our software emulation takes only 24-28
cycles.

I've added a new target feature to indicate a slow popcnt[dw], instead of just
removing the existing target feature from the a2/a2q processor models, because:
  1. This allows us to return more accurate information via the TTI interface
     (I recognize that this currently makes no practical difference)
  2. Is hopefully easier to understand (it allows the core's features to match
     its manual while still having the desired effect).

Hal Finkel 290376dd78 Add the PPC popcntw instruction
The popcntw instruction is available whenever the popcntd instruction is
available, and performs a separate popcnt on the lower and upper 32-bits.
Ignoring the high-order count, this can be used for the 32-bit input case
(saving on the explicit zero extension otherwise required to use popcntd).

Hal Finkel a4d074863a Add the PPC64 popcntd instruction
PPC ISA 2.06 (P7, A2, etc.) has a popcntd instruction. Add this instruction and
tell TTI about it so that popcount-loop recognition will know about it.
