LLVM IR frequently contains bitcast operations between floating point and
integer values of the same width. Doing this through memory operations is
quite expensive on PPC. This patch allows the use of direct register moves
between FPRs and GPRs for lowering bitcasts.

This patch adds a pass for doing PowerPC peephole optimizations at the
MI level while the code is still in SSA form. This allows for easy
modifications to the instructions while depending on a subsequent pass
of DCE. Both passes are very fast due to the characteristics of SSA.
At this time, the only peepholes added are for cleaning up various
redundancies involving the XXPERMDI instruction. However, I would
expect this will be a useful place to add more peepholes for
inefficiencies generated during instruction selection. The pass is
placed after VSX swap optimization, as it is best to let that pass
remove unnecessary swaps before performing any remaining clean-ups.
The utility of these clean-ups are demonstrated by changes to four
existing test cases, all of which now have tighter expected code
generation. I've also added Eric Schweiz's bugpoint-reduced test from
PR25157, for which we now generate tight code. One other test started
failing for me, and I've fixed it
(test/Transforms/PlaceSafepoints/finite-loops.ll) as well; this is not
related to my changes, and I'm not sure why it works before and not
after. The problem is that the CHECK-NOT: of "statepoint" from test1
fails because of the "statepoint" in test2, and so forth. Adding a
CHECK-LABEL in between keeps the different occurrences of that string
properly scoped.

This revision has introduced an issue that only affects bootstrapped compiler
when it is printing the ASM. It turns out that the new code path taken due to
legalizing a scalar_to_vector of i64 -> v2i64 exposes a missing check in a
micro optimization to change a load followed by a scalar_to_vector into a
load and splat instruction on PPC.

This patch builds onto the patch that provided scalar to vector conversions
without stack operations (D11471).
Included in this patch:
- Vector element extraction for all vector types with constant element number
- Vector element extraction for v16i8 and v8i16 with variable element number
- Removal of some unnecessary COPY_TO_REGCLASS operations that ended up
unnecessarily moving things around between registers
Not included in this patch (will be in upcoming patch):
- Vector element extraction for v4i32, v4f32, v2i64 and v2f64 with
variable element number
- Vector element insertion for variable/constant element number
Testing is provided for all extractions. The extractions that are not
implemented yet are just placeholders.

This revision has introduced an issue that only affects bootstrapped compiler
when it is printing the ASM. I am working on resolving the issue, but in the
meantime, I'm disabling the legalization of scalar_to_vector operation for v2i64
and the associated testing until I can get this fixed.

It improves the code generated for converting a scalar to a vector value. With
direct moves from GPRs to VSRs, we no longer require expensive stack operations
for this. Subsequent patches will handle the reverse case and more general
operations between vectors and their scalar elements.
