The patch add branch hint for AtomicExpandImpl::expandAtomicCmpXchg, For
example: in PowerPC, it support branch hint as
```
loop:
lwarx r6,0,r3 # load and reserve
cmpw r4,r6 #1st 2 operands equal? bne- exit #skip if not
bne- exit #skip if not
stwcx. r5,0,r3 #store new value if still res’ved bne- loop #loop if lost reservation
bne- loop #loop if lost reservation
exit:
mr r4,r6 #return value from storage
```
`-` hints not taken,
`+` hints taken,
In PowerPC, the AtomicCmpXchgInst is lowered to
ISD::ATOMIC_CMP_SWAP_WITH_SUCCESS. However, this node does not handle
the weak attribute of AtomicCmpXchgInst. As a result, when compiling C++
atomic_compare_exchange_weak_explicit, the generated assembly includes a
"reservation lost" loop — i.e., it branches back and retries if the
stwcx. (store-conditional) fails. This differs from GCC’s codegen, which
does not include that loop for weak compare-exchange.
Since PowerPC uses LL/SC-style atomic instructions, the patch enables
AtomicExpandImpl::expandAtomicCmpXchg for PowerPC. With this, the weak
attribute is properly respected, and the "reservation lost" loop is
removed for weak operations.

Utilize common API in PPCTargetParser
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/97541) to set default CPU

This will update AIX default CPU to pwr7 and LoP powerppc64 default CPU
to ppc64.
The LIT test cases were migrated with the script provided by

There are a few issues with the code we generate for atomic operations and the way we generate it:
- Hard coded CR0 for compares
- Order of operands for compares not conducive to
emitting compare-immediate or for CSE of compares
- Missing MachineMemOperand for st[bhwd]cx intrinsics
- Missing intrinsic properties for the same
- Unnecessary blocks with store conditional
instructions to clear reservation (which ends
up hindering performance)
- Move from CR instructions just to compare the
result of a store conditional with zero (even
though it is a record-form)
This patch aims to resolve all of those issues.
