On little endian targets prior to Power9, we spill vector registers using a
swapping store (i.e. stdxvd2x saves the vector with the two doublewords in
big endian order regardless of endianness). This is generally not a problem
since we restore them using the corresponding swapping load (lxvd2x). However
if the restore is done by the unwinder, the vector register contains data in
the incorrect order.
This patch fixes that by using Altivec loads/stores for vector saves and
restores in PEI (which keep the order correct) under those specific conditions:
- EH aware function
- Subtarget requires swaps for VSX memops (Little Endian prior to Power9)

Summary:
If we didn't set the value for hasSideEffects bit in our td file, `llvm-tblgen`
will set it as true for those instructions which has no match pattern.
The instructions `MTLR` and `MFLR` don't set the hasSideEffects flag and don't
have match pattern, so their hasSideEffects flag will be set true by
`llvm-tblgen`.
But in fact, we can use `[LR]` to model the two instructions, so they should not
have SideEffects.
This patch is to modify the hasSideEffects of MTLR and MFLR from 1 to 0.

If an inline asm statement clobbers a VSX register that overlaps with a
callee-saved Altivec register or FPR, we will not record the clobber and will
therefore violate the ABI. This is clearly a bug so this patch fixes it.

Move the stdu instruction in the prologue and epilogue.
This should provide a small performance boost in functions that are able to do
this. I've kept this change rather conservative at the moment and functions
with frame pointers or base pointers will not try to move the stack pointer
update.

Added four test files to check the existing behaviour of prologue
and epilogue code generation. This patch was done as a setup for
the upcoming patch listed on Phabricator that will change how the
prologue and epilogue work.
