This patch fixes the following two bugs in `PPCInstrInfo::isSignOrZeroExtended` helper, which is used from sign-/zero-extension elimination in PPCMIPeephole pass.
- Registers defined by load with update (e.g. LBZU) were identified as already sign or zero-extended. But it is true only for the first def (loaded value) and not for the second def (i.e. updated pointer).
- Registers defined by ORIS/XORIS were identified as already sign-extended. But, it is not true for sign extension depending on the immediate (while it is ok for zero extension).
To handle the first case, the parameter for the helpers is changed from `MachineInstr` to a register number to distinguish first and second defs. Also, this patch moves the initialization of PPCMIPeepholePass to allow mir test case.

This patch enables redundant sign- and zero-extension elimination in PowerPC MI Peephole pass.
If the input value of a sign- or zero-extension is known to be already sign- or zero-extended, the operation is redundant and can be eliminated.
One common case is sign-extensions for a method parameter or for a method return value; they must be sign- or zero-extended as defined in PPC ELF ABI.
For example of the following simple code, two extsw instructions are generated before the invocation of int_func and before the return. With this patch, both extsw are eliminated.
void int_func(int);
void ii_test(int a) {
if (a & 1) return int_func(a);
}
Such redundant sign- or zero-extensions are quite common in many programs; e.g. I observed about 60,000 occurrences of the elimination while compiling the LLVM+CLANG.
