PowerPC subtargets prior to Power9 use the 'legacy' itinerary way to
provide scheduling information. This patch re-writes the tablegen file
to define the scheduling information in the new SchedModel way, which
can bring improvements to some benchmarks.

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.

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

The PowerPC code generator currently scalarizes vector truncates that would fit in a vector register, resulting in vector extracts, scalar operations, and vector merges. This patch custom lowers a vector truncate that would fit in a register to a vector shuffle instead.
