When switched to the MI scheduler for P9, the hardware is modeled as out of order.
However, inside the MI Scheduler algorithm, we still use the in-order scheduling model
as the MicroOpBufferSize isn't set. The MI scheduler take it as the hw cannot buffer
the op. So, only when all the available instructions issued, the pending instruction
could be scheduled. That is not true for our P9 hw in fact.
This patch is trying to enable the Out-of-Order scheduling model. The buffer size 44 is
picked from the P9 hw spec, and the perf test indicate that, its value won't hurt the cpu2017.
With this patch, there are 3 specs improved over 3% and 1 spec deg over 3%. The detail is as follows:
x264_r: +6.95%
cactuBSSN_r: +6.94%
lbm_r: +4.11%
xz_r: -3.85%
And the GEOMEAN for all the C/C++ spec in spec2017 is about 0.18% improved.

- Relex hard coded registers and stack frame sizes
- Some test cleanups
- Change phi-dbg.ll to match on mir output after phi elimination instead
of going through the whole codegen pipeline.
This is in preparation for https://reviews.llvm.org/D52010
I'm committing all the test changes upfront that work before and after
independently.

This patch will address using the xscpsgndp instruction to copy floating point
scalar registers instead of the xxlor (specifically XXLORf) instruction that is
currently used. Additionally, this patch of utilizing xscpsgndp will apply to
P9, while pre-P9 will still use xxlor.

Currently we produce a bunch of unnecessary code when emitting the
prologue/epilogue for spills/restores. Namely, if the load from stack
slot/store to stack slot instruction is an X-Form instruction, we will
always produce an LIS/ORI sequence for the stack offset.
Furthermore, we have not exploited the P9 vector D-Form loads/stores for this
purpose.
This patch address both issues.
Specifying the D-Form load as the instruction to use for stack spills/reloads
should be safe because:
1. The stack should be aligned according to the ABI
2. If the stack isn't aligned, PPCRegisterInfo::eliminateFrameIndex() will
check for the offset being a multiple of 16 and will convert it to an
X-Form instruction if it isn't.

This does some improvements/cleanup to the recently introduced
scavengeRegisterBackwards() functionality:
- Rewrite findSurvivorBackwards algorithm to use the existing
LiveRegUnit::accumulateBackward() code. This also avoids the Available
and Candidates bitset and just need 1 LiveRegUnit instance
(= 1 bitset).
- Pick registers in allocation order instead of register number order.

This patch corresponds to review:
The newly added VSX D-Form (register + offset) memory ops target the upper half
of the VSX register set. The existing ones target the lower half. In order to
unify these and have the ability to target all the VSX registers using D-Form
operations, this patch defines Pseudo-ops for the loads/stores which are
expanded post-RA. The expansion then choses the correct opcode based on the
register that was allocated for the operation.

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.

We had stored both f64 values and v2f64, etc. values in the VSX registers. This
worked, but was suboptimal because we would always spill 16-byte values even
through we almost always had scalar 8-byte values. This resulted in an
increase in stack-size use, extra memory bandwidth, etc. To fix this, I've
added 64-bit subregisters of the Altivec registers, and combined those with the
existing scalar floating-point registers to form a class of VSX scalar
floating-point registers. The ABI code has also been enhanced to use this
register class and some other necessary improvements have been made.
