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.

As part of the effort to improve AIX support, regression test coverage
misses quite a lot for AIX subtarget. This patch adds AIX triple to
those don't need extra change, and we can cover more cases in following
commits.

Update CodeGen regression tests with marker at first line telling it's
auto-generated by the script, under PowerPC directory. For some reason,
these tests are generated but manually written, which makes things
unclear when someone's change affecting them.

However, some tests only show simple change after re-generated, like
extra blank lines, disappearing '.localentry', etc. Besides, some tests
are generated but added checks for debug output. This commit doesn't try
updating them.

This patch uses update_llc_check script to update vec_constants.ll, and
add two cases to cover 'vsplti+vsldoi' with 16-bit and 24-bit offset.

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.

When enabling PPC64LE, I disabled some optimizations of BUILD_VECTOR
nodes for little endian because wrong results were produced.  I've
subsequently investigated and found this is due to a call to
BuildVectorSDNode::isConstantSplat that was always specifying
big-endian.  With this changed to correctly identify the target
endianness, the optimizations work as expected.

I found another case of a call to the same method with big-endian
hardcoded, in PPC::isAllNegativeZeroVector().  I discovered this was
an orphaned method with no callers, so I've just removed it.

The existing test/CodeGen/PowerPC/vec_constants.ll checks these
optimizations, so for testing I've just added a variant for little
endian.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.

A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)

import fileinput
import sys
import re

pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")

for line in sys.stdin:
  sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
    sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.
