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

We want to run the Machine Scheduler instead of the List Scheduler after RA.
Checked with a performance run on a Power 9 machine with SPEC 2006 and while
some benchmarks improved and others degraded the geomean was slightly improved
with the Machine Scheduler.

As part of the unification of the debug format and the MIR format, print
MBB references as '%bb.5'.
The MIR printer prints the IR name of a MBB only for block definitions.

This goes back to a discussion about IR canonicalization. We'd like to preserve and convert
more IR to 'select' than we currently do because that's likely the best choice in IR:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-September/105335.html
...but that's often not true for codegen, so we need to account for this pattern coming in
to the backend and transform it to better DAG ops.
Steps in this patch:
1. Add an EVT param to the existing convertSelectOfConstantsToMath() TLI hook to more finely
enable this transform. Other targets will probably want that anyway to distinguish scalars
from vectors. We're using that here to exclude AVX512 targets, but it may not be necessary.
2. Convert a vselect to ext+add. This eliminates a constant load/materialization, and the
vector ext is often free.
Implementing a more general fold using xor+and can be a follow-up for targets that don't have
a legal vselect. It's also possible that we can remove the TLI hook for the special case fold
implemented here because we're eliminating a constant, but it needs to be tested on other
targets.

We've discussed canonicalizing to this form in IR, so the backend
should be prepared to lower these in ways better than what we see
here.
