1. The PR proceeds with a backend target hook to allow front-ends to
determine what target features are available in a compilation based on
the CPU name.
2. Fix a backend target feature bug that supports HTM for
Power8/9/10/11. However, HTM is only supported on Power8/9 according to
the ISA.
3. All target features that are hardcoded in PPC.cpp can be retrieved
from the backend target feature. I have double-checked that the
hardcoded logic for inferring target features from the CPU in the
frontend(PPC.cpp) is the same as in PPC.td.
The reland patch addressed the comment

This reverts commit 9208b343e962b9f1140ee345c0050a3920bdcbf2.
TargetParser shouldn't re-run the PPC subtarget tablegen target, it
should define its own `-gen-ppc-target-def` rule like all the other
targets do in llvm/include/llvm/TargetParser/CMakeLists.txt .
One user reported that there are incorrect CMake dependencies after this
change, so I will roll this back in the meantime.

This patch fixes:
llvm/include/llvm/TargetParser/PPCTargetParser.def:109:9: error:
suggest braces around initialization of subobject
[-Werror,-Wmissing-braces]
llvm/lib/TargetParser/PPCTargetParser.cpp:96:16: error: address of
stack memory associated with local variable 'CPU' returned
[-Werror,-Wreturn-stack-address]
For now only focus on the CPU type, will work on the CPU features part
later.
With the CPU handling in TargetParser, clang and llc/opt are able to
query common interfaces.
So we can set same default CPU and CPU features with same interfaces.
