As a first step towards real little-endian code generation, this patch
changes the PowerPC MC layer to actually generate little-endian object
files. This involves passing the little-endian flag through the various
layers, including down to createELFObjectWriter so we actually get basic
little-endian ELF objects, emitting instructions in little-endian order,
and handling fixups and relocations as appropriate for little-endian.
The bulk of the patch is to update most test cases in test/MC/PowerPC
to verify both big- and little-endian encodings. (The only test cases
*not* updated are those that create actual big-endian ABI code, like
the TLS tests.)
Note that while the object files are now little-endian, the generated
code itself is not yet updated, in particular, it still does not adhere
to the ELFv2 ABI.

There are a couple of (small) related changes here:
1. The printed name of the VRSAVE register has been changed from VRsave to
vrsave in order to match the name accepted by GNU binutils.
2. Support for parsing vrsave has been added to the asm parser (it seems that
there was no test case specifically covering this code, so I've added one).
3. The list of Altivec registers, which was common to all calling conventions,
has been separated out. This allows us to define the base CSR lists, and then
lists for each ABI with Altivec included. This allows SjLj, for example, to
work correctly on non-Altivec targets without using unnatural definitions of
the NoRegs CSR list.
4. VRSAVE is now always reserved on non-Darwin targets and all Altivec
registers are reserved when Altivec is disabled.
With these changes, it is now possible to compile a function containing
__builtin_unwind_init() on Linux/PPC64 with debugging information. This did not
work previously because GNU binutils assumes that all .cfi_offset offsets will
be 8-byte aligned on PPC64 (and errors out if you provide a non-8-byte-aligned
offset). This is not true for the vrsave register, however, because this
register is used only on Darwin, GCC does not bother printing a .cfi_offset
entry for it (even though there is a slot in the stack frame for it as
specified by the ABI). This change allows us to do the same: we will also not
print .cfi_offset directives for vrsave.
