PowerPC subtargets prior to Power9 use the 'legacy' itinerary way to
provide scheduling information. This patch re-writes the tablegen file
to define the scheduling information in the new SchedModel way, which
can bring improvements to some benchmarks.

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 patch is the last one in backend to support fp128 type in
pre-POWER9 subtargets with VSX, removing temporary option and updating
remaining tests.

Summary: Some constants can be handled with less instructions than our current results. And it seems our original approach is not very easy to extend. Therefore this patch proposes to materialize all 64-bit constants by enumerated patterns.
I traversed almost all constants to verified the functionality of these pattens. A traversed comparison of the number of instructions used by the original method and the new method has also been completed, where no degradation was caused by this patch. This patch also passed Bootstrap test and SPEC test.
Improvements of this patch are shown in llvm/test/CodeGen/PowerPC/constants-i64.ll

On PowerPC, FNMSUB (both VSX and non-VSX version) means -(a*b-c). But
the backend used to generate these instructions regardless whether nsz
flag exists or not. If a*b-c==0, such transformation changes sign of
zero.
This patch introduces PPC specific FNMSUB ISD opcode, which may help
improving combined FMA code sequence.

Summary:
This is follow up patch of https://reviews.llvm.org/D67595.
Adjust naming and the Commutable operands for additional patterns
to make it easier to read.
The testcase update also show that we can save some unecessary fmr as
well.
