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.

The LIT test cases were migrated with the script provided by
Nikita Popov. Due to the size of the change it is split into
several parts.

We can process the long shuffles (working across several actual
vector registers) in the best way if we take the actual register
represantion into account. We can build more correct representation of
register shuffles, improve number of recognised buildvector sequences.
Also, same function can be used to improve the cost model for the
shuffles. in future patches.

We are going to remove the old 'perfect shuffle' optimization since it
brings performance penalty in hot loop around vectors. For example, in
following loop sharing the same mask:
%v.1 = shufflevector ... <0,1,2,3,8,9,10,11,16,17,18,19,24,25,26,27>
%v.2 = shufflevector ... <0,1,2,3,8,9,10,11,16,17,18,19,24,25,26,27>
The generated instructions will be `vmrglw-vmrghw-vmrglw-vmrghw` instead
of `vperm-vperm`. In some large loop cases, this causes 20%+ performance
penalty.
The original attempt to resolve this is to pre-record masks of every
shufflevector operation in DAG, but that is somewhat complex and brings
unnecessary computation (to scan all nodes) in optimization. Here we
disable it by default. There're indeed some cases becoming worse after
this, which will be fixed in a more careful way in future patches.

VSX introduced some permute instructions that are direct
replacements for Altivec ones except they can target all
the VSX registers. We have added code generation for most
of these but somehow missed the low/hi word merges (XXMRG[LH]W).
This caused some additional spills on some large
computationally intensive code.
This patch simply adds the missed patterns.
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.

There are some VectorShuffle Nodes in SDAG which can be selected to XXSLDWI
instruction, this patch recognizes them and does the selection to improve the
PPC performance.

This generalizes the build_vector -> vector_shuffle combine to support any
number of inputs. The idea is to create a binary tree of shuffles, where
the first layer performs pairwise shuffles of the input vectors placing each
input element into the correct lane, and the rest of the tree blends these
shuffles together.
This doesn't try to be smart and create any sort of "optimal" shuffles.
The assumption is that even a "poor" shuffle sequence is better than extracting
and inserting the elements one by one.

Currently we have a number of tests that fail with -verify-machineinstrs.
To detect this cases earlier we add the option to the testcases with the
exception of tests that will currently fail with this option. PR 27456 keeps
track of this failures.
No code review, as discussed with Hal Finkel.
