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.

This changes the lowering of saddsat and ssubsat so that instead of
using:
r,o = saddo x, y
c = setcc r < 0
s = c ? INTMAX : INTMIN
ret o ? s : r
into using asr and xor to materialize the INTMAX/INTMIN constants:
r,o = saddo x, y
s = ashr r, BW-1
x = xor s, INTMIN
ret o ? x : r

This seems to reduce the instruction count in most testcases across most
architectures. X86 has some custom lowering added to compensate for
cases where it can increase instruction count.

These patterns are missing even though the underlying instruction
doesn't really care about the type. Added these patterns to resolve
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50084
Move the X86 VSELECT->UADDSAT fold to DAGCombiner - there's nothing target specific about these folds.
The SSE42 test diffs are relatively benign - its avoiding an extra constant load in exchange for an extra xor operation - there are extra register moves, which is annoying as all those operations should commute them away.

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

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

Use the PPC vector min/max instructions for computing the corresponding
operation as these should be faster than the compare/select sequences
we currently emit.

There are 2 changes visible here:
1. There's no reason to limit this transform based on number
of condition registers. That diff allows PPC to produce
slightly better (dot-instructions should be generally good)
code.
Note: someone that cares about PPC codegen might want to
look closer at that output because it seems like we could
still improve this.
2. We (probably?) should not bother trying to form uaddo (or
other overflow ops) when there's no target support for such
an op. This goes beyond checking whether the op is expanded
because both PPC and AArch64 show better codegen for standard
types regardless of whether the op is legal/custom.
