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.

xsnegdp, xsabsdp and xsnabsdp can be used to operate on f32 operand.
This patch adds the missing patterns since we prefer VSX instructions
when available.

We already do the following combines:
(bitcast int (and (bitcast fp X to int), 0x7fff...) to fp) -> fabs X
(bitcast int (xor (bitcast fp X to int), 0x8000...) to fp) -> fneg X
When the target has "bit preserving fp logic". This patch just extends it
to also combine:
(bitcast int (or (bitcast fp X to int), 0x8000...) to fp) -> fneg (fabs X)
As some targets have fnabs and even those that don't can efficiently lower
both the fabs and the fneg.

This is the PPC-specific non-controversial part of
https://reviews.llvm.org/D44548 that simply enables this combine for PPC
since PPC has these instructions.
This commit will allow the target-independent portion to be truly target
independent.
