This patch includes the following updates to the load/store refactoring effort introduced in D93370:
- Update various VSX patterns that use to "force" an XForm, to instead just XForm.
This allows the ability for the patterns to compute the most optimal addressing
mode (and to produce a DForm instruction when possible)
- Update pattern and test case for the LXVD2X/STXVD2X intrinsics
- Update LIT test cases that use to use the XForm instruction to use the DForm instruction

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

tryLatency compares two sched candidates. For the top zone it prefers
the one with lesser depth, but only if that depth is greater than the
total latency of the instructions we've already scheduled -- otherwise
its latency would be hidden and there would be no stall.
Unfortunately it only tests the depth of one of the candidates. This can
lead to situations where the TopDepthReduce heuristic does not kick in,
but a lower priority heuristic chooses the other candidate, whose depth
*is* greater than the already scheduled latency, which causes a stall.
The fix is to apply the heuristic if the depth of *either* candidate is
greater than the already scheduled latency.
All this also applies to the BotHeightReduce heuristic in the bottom
zone.
