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.

When a vector type legalizes to a larger vector type, and the target does not
support the associated extending load (or truncating store), then legalization
will scalarize the load (or store) resulting in an associated scalarization
cost. BasicTTI::getMemoryOpCost needs to account for this.
Between this, and r205487, PowerPC on the P7 with VSX enabled shows:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/PAQ8p/paq8p: 43% speedup
SingleSource/Benchmarks/BenchmarkGame/puzzle: 51% speedup
SingleSource/UnitTests/Vectorizer/gcc-loops 28% speedup
(some of these are new; some of these, such as PAQ8p, just reverse regressions
that VSX support would trigger)

For an cast (extension, etc.), the currently logic predicts a low cost if the
associated operation (keyed on the destination type) is legal (or promoted).
This is not true when the number of values required to legalize the type is
changing. For example, <8 x i16> being sign extended by <8 x i32> is not
generically cheap on PPC with VSX, even though sign extension to v4i32 is
legal, because two output v4i32 values are required compared to the single
v8i16 input value, and without custom logic in the target, this conversion will
scalarize.

- Instead of setting the suffixes in a bunch of places, just set one master
list in the top-level config. We now only modify the suffix list in a few
suites that have one particular unique suffix (.ml, .mc, .yaml, .td, .py).
- Aside from removing the need for a bunch of lit.local.cfg files, this enables
4 tests that were inadvertently being skipped (one in
Transforms/BranchFolding, a .s file each in DebugInfo/AArch64 and
CodeGen/PowerPC, and one in CodeGen/SI which is now failing and has been
XFAILED).
- This commit also fixes a bunch of config files to use config.root instead of
older copy-pasted code.

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.

This provides a place to add customized operation cost information and
control some other target-specific IR-level transformations.
The only non-trivial logic in this checkin assigns a higher cost to
unaligned loads and stores (covered by the included test case).
