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.

The mftb instruction was incorrectly marked as deprecated in the PPC
Backend. Instead, it should not be treated as deprecated, but rather be
implemented using the mfspr instruction. A similar patch was put into GCC last
year. Details can be found at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2014-11/msg00383.html.
This change will replace instances of the mftb instruction with the mfspr
instruction for all CPUs except 601 and pwr3. This will also be the default
behaviour.
