mflr is kind of expensive on Power version smaller than 10, so we should
schedule the store for the mflr's def away from mflr.
In epilogue, the expensive mtlr has no user for its def, so it doesn't
matter that the load and the mtlr are back-to-back.

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 target data layout to make stack align to 16 bytes
on Power10. Before this change, stack was being aligned to 32 bytes.
