This revision has introduced an issue that only affects bootstrapped compiler
when it is printing the ASM. It turns out that the new code path taken due to
legalizing a scalar_to_vector of i64 -> v2i64 exposes a missing check in a
micro optimization to change a load followed by a scalar_to_vector into a
load and splat instruction on PPC.

This patch builds onto the patch that provided scalar to vector conversions
without stack operations (D11471).
Included in this patch:
- Vector element extraction for all vector types with constant element number
- Vector element extraction for v16i8 and v8i16 with variable element number
- Removal of some unnecessary COPY_TO_REGCLASS operations that ended up
unnecessarily moving things around between registers
Not included in this patch (will be in upcoming patch):
- Vector element extraction for v4i32, v4f32, v2i64 and v2f64 with
variable element number
- Vector element insertion for variable/constant element number
Testing is provided for all extractions. The extractions that are not
implemented yet are just placeholders.

This revision has introduced an issue that only affects bootstrapped compiler
when it is printing the ASM. I am working on resolving the issue, but in the
meantime, I'm disabling the legalization of scalar_to_vector operation for v2i64
and the associated testing until I can get this fixed.

It improves the code generated for converting a scalar to a vector value. With
direct moves from GPRs to VSRs, we no longer require expensive stack operations
for this. Subsequent patches will handle the reverse case and more general
operations between vectors and their scalar elements.
