We currently produce a load, followed by (possibly a move for integers and) a
splat as separate instructions. VSX has always had a splatting load for
doublewords, but as of Power9, we have it for words as well. This patch just
exploits these instructions.

Summary:
xxspltib/vspltisb are 3 cycle PM instructions,
xxleqv is 2 cycle ALU instruction.
We should use xxleqv to set all one vectors.

This patch aims to improve the codegen for vector loads involving the
scalar_to_vector (load X) sequence. Initially, ld->mv instructions were used
for scalar_to_vector (load X), so this patch allows scalar_to_vector (load X)
to utilize:
LXSD and LXSDX for i64 and f64
LXSIWAX for i32 (sign extension to i64)
LXSIWZX for i32 and f64

In some situations, the BUILD_VECTOR node that builds a v18i8 vector by
a splat of an i8 constant will end up with signed 8-bit values and other
situations, it'll end up with unsigned ones. Handle both situations.
Fixes PR31340.

This is the final patch in the series of patches that improves
BUILD_VECTOR handling on PowerPC. This adds a few peephole optimizations
to remove redundant instructions. It also adds a large test case which
encompasses a large set of code patterns that build vectors - this test
case was the motivator for this series of patches.

This patch removes the VSHRC register class (based on D20310) and adds
exploitation of the Power9 sub-word integer loads into VSX registers as well
as vector sign extensions.
The new instructions are useful for a few purposes:
Int to Fp conversions of 1 or 2-byte values loaded from memory
Building vectors of 1 or 2-byte integers with values loaded from memory
Storing individual 1 or 2-byte elements from integer vectors
This patch implements all of those uses.

This patch exploits the following instructions:
mtvsrws
lxvwsx
mtvsrdd
mfvsrld
In order to improve some build_vector and extractelement patterns.
