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.

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.

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.

This patch adds support for the following new instructions in the
Power ISA 2.07:
vpksdss
vpksdus
vpkudus
vpkudum
vupkhsw
vupklsw
These instructions are available through the vec_packs, vec_packsu,
vec_unpackh, and vec_unpackl built-in interfaces. These are
lane-sensitive instructions, so the built-ins have different
implementations for big- and little-endian, and the instructions must
be marked as killing the vector swap optimization for now.
The first three instructions perform saturating pack operations. The
fourth performs a modulo pack operation, which means it can be
represented with a vector shuffle, and conversely the appropriate
vector shuffles may cause this instruction to be generated. The other
instructions are only generated via built-in support for now.
Appropriate tests have been added.
There is a companion patch to clang for the rest of this support.
