The instruction has similar semantics to vbpermq but for doublewords.
It was added in Power9 and the ABI documents the builtin.

The builtins vec_xl_len_r and vec_xst_len_r actually use the
wrong side of the vector on big endian Power9 systems. We never
spotted this before because there was no such thing as a big
endian distro that supported Power9. Now we have AIX and the
elements are in the wrong part of the vector. This just fixes
it so the elements are loaded to and stored from the right
side of the vector.
The alias was only ever used on darwin and had some issues there,
and isn't used in practice much. Also fixes a problem with -mno-altivec
not turning off -maltivec.
Also add a diagnostic for faltivec/fno-altivec that directs users to use
maltivec options and include the altivec.h file explicitly.

Add builtins for the functions and custom codegen mapping the builtins to their
corresponding intrinsics and handling the endian related swapping.

Adds 2 vector functions for converting from a vector of unsigned short to a
vector of float. One converts the low 4 halfwords and one converts the high
4 halfwords.

Add vector extract exponent/significand functions to altivec.h, as well as
functions (and related constants) to test the data class of vector float
and vector double.

This patch corresponds to review:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D24397
It adds the __POWER9_VECTOR__ macro and the -mpower9-vector option along with
a number of altivec.h functions (refer to the code review for a list).
