PromoteIntRes_BUILD_VECTOR currently always ANY_EXTENDs build vector operands, but if this is a constant boolean vector we're losing the useful ability to keep the vector matching the BooleanContents mode used by the target.
This patch extends constant boolean vectors according to target BooleanContents, allowing a number of additional all-bits folds (notable XOR -> NOT conversions) to occur.

This patch changes the PowerPC backend to generate VSX load/store instructions
for all vector loads/stores on Power8 and earlier (LE) instead of VMX
load/store instructions. The reason for this change is because VMX instructions
require the vector to be 16-byte aligned. So, a vector load/store will fail with
VMX instructions if the vector is misaligned. Also, `gcc` generates VSX
instructions in this situation which allow for unaligned access but require a
swap instruction after loading/before storing. This is not an issue for BE
because we already emit VSX instructions since no swap is required. And this is
not an issue on Power9 and up since we have access to `lxv[x]`/`stxv[x]` which
allow for unaligned access and do not require swaps.
This patch also delays the VSX load/store for LE combines until after
LegalizeOps to prioritize other load/store combines.

VSX introduced some permute instructions that are direct
replacements for Altivec ones except they can target all
the VSX registers. We have added code generation for most
of these but somehow missed the low/hi word merges (XXMRG[LH]W).
This caused some additional spills on some large
computationally intensive code.
This patch simply adds the missed patterns.
Extend shuffle canonicalization and conversion of shuffles fed by vectorized
scalars to big endian subtargets. For big endian subtargets, loads and direct
moves of scalars into vector registers put the data in the correct element for
SCALAR_TO_VECTOR if the data type is 8 bytes wide. However, if the data type is
narrower, the value still ends up in the wrong place - althouth a different
wrong place than on little endian targets.
This patch extends the combine that keeps values where they are if they feed a
shuffle to big endian targets.

We currently miss a number of opportunities to emit single-instruction
VMRG[LH][BHW] instructions for shuffles on little endian subtargets. Although
this in itself is not a huge performance opportunity since loading the permute
vector for a VPERM can always be pulled out of loops, producing such merge
instructions is useful to downstream optimizations.
Since VPERM is essentially opaque to all subsequent optimizations, we want to
avoid it as much as possible. Other permute instructions have semantics that can
be reasoned about much more easily in later optimizations.
This patch does the following:
- Canonicalize shuffles so that the first element comes from the first vector
(since that's what most of the mask matching functions want)
- Switch the elements that come from splat vectors so that they match the
corresponding elements from the other vector (to allow for merges)
- Adds debugging messages for when a shuffle is matched to a VPERM so that
anyone interested in improving this further can get the info for their code

Summary:
When doing the conversion: MachineInst -> MCInst, we should ignore the
implicit operands, it will expose more opportunity for InstiAlias.

The legalizer would hit an assertion on PowerPC platform when truncating
a vector whose size is not power of 2. This patch is to add a check to
prevent vectors with such odd-size elements from being custom lowered.
