levels:
-- none: no lax vector conversions [new GCC default]
-- integer: only conversions between integer vectors [old GCC default]
-- all: all conversions between same-size vectors [Clang default]
For now, Clang still defaults to "all" mode, but per my proposal on
cfe-dev (2019-04-10) the default will be changed to "integer" as soon as
that doesn't break lots of testcases. (Eventually I'd like to change the
default to "none" to match GCC and general sanity.)
Following GCC's behavior, the driver flag -flax-vector-conversions is
translated to -flax-vector-conversions=integer.
This reinstates r371805, reverted in r371813, with an additional fix for
lldb.

It appears when initially committing the support for the IBM Z vector
extension language, one critical line was lost, causing the specific
keywords __vector, __bool, and vec_step to not actually be enabled.
(Note that this does not affect "vector" and "bool"!)
Unfortunately, this was not caught by any tests either. (All existing
Z vector tests just use the regular "vector" and "bool" keywords ...)
Fixed by adding the missing line and updating the tests.

This patch teaches clang to perform implicit scalar to vector conversions
when one of the operands of a binary vector expression is a scalar which
can be converted to the element type of the vector without truncation
following GCC's implementation.
If the (constant) scalar is can be casted safely, it is implicitly casted to the
vector elements type and splatted to produce a vector of the same type.

The z13 vector facility has an associated language extension,
closely modeled on AltiVec/VSX. The main differences are:
- vector long, vector float and vector pixel are not supported
- vector long long and vector double are supported (like VSX)
- comparison operators return a vector rather than a scalar integer
- shift operators behave like the OpenCL shift operators
- vector bool is only supported as argument to certain operators;
some operators allow mixing a bool with a non-bool vector
This patch adds clang support for the extension. It is closely modelled
on the AltiVec support. Similarly to the -faltivec option, there's a
new -fzvector option to enable the extensions (as well as an -mzvector
alias for compatibility with GCC). There's also a separate LangOpt.
The extension as implemented here is intended to be compatible with
the -mzvector extension recently implemented by GCC.
Based on a patch by Richard Sandiford.
