This patch lets the llvm tools handle the new HVX target features that
are added by frontend (clang). The target-features are of the form
"hvx-length64b" for 64 Byte HVX mode, "hvx-length128b" for 128 Byte mode HVX.
"hvx-double" is an alias to "hvx-length128b" and is soon will be deprecated.
The hvx version target feature is upgated form "+hvx" to "+hvxv{version_number}.
Eg: "+hvxv62"
For the correct HVX code generation, the user must use the following
target features.
For 64B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length64b"
For 128B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length128b"
Clang picks a default length if none is specified. If for some reason,
no hvx-length is specified to llvm, the compilation will bail out.
There is a corresponding clang patch.

If the mask of a vector shuffle has alternating odd or even numbers
starting with 1 or 0 respectively up to the largest possible index
for the given type in the given HVX mode (single of double) we can
generate vpacko or vpacke instruction respectively.
E.g.
%42 = shufflevector <32 x i16> %37, <32 x i16> %41,
<32 x i32> <i32 1, i32 3, ..., i32 63>
is %42.h = vpacko(%41.w, %37.w)
