Eric Christopher 758aad76d8 Remove the -faltivec alias option and replace it with -maltivec everywhere.
The alias was only ever used on darwin and had some issues there,
and isn't used in practice much. Also fixes a problem with -mno-altivec
not turning off -maltivec.

Also add a diagnostic for faltivec/fno-altivec that directs users to use
maltivec options and include the altivec.h file explicitly.

Kit Barton 8246f28237 Add Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) Support
This patch adds Hardware Transaction Memory (HTM) support supported by ISA 2.07
(POWER8). The intrinsic support is based on GCC one [1], with both 'PowerPC HTM
Low Level Built-in Functions' and 'PowerPC HTM High Level Inline Functions'
implemented.

Along with builtins a new driver switch is added to enable/disable HTM
instruction support (-mhtm) and a header with common definitions (mostly to
parse the TFHAR register value). The HTM switch also sets a preprocessor builtin
HTM.

The HTM usage requires a recently newer kernel with PPC HTM enabled. Tested on
powerpc64 and powerpc64le.

This is send along a llvm patch to enabled the builtins and option switch.
