Extend shuffle canonicalization and conversion of shuffles fed by vectorized
scalars to big endian subtargets. For big endian subtargets, loads and direct
moves of scalars into vector registers put the data in the correct element for
SCALAR_TO_VECTOR if the data type is 8 bytes wide. However, if the data type is
narrower, the value still ends up in the wrong place - althouth a different
wrong place than on little endian targets.
This patch extends the combine that keeps values where they are if they feed a
shuffle to big endian targets.

When switched to the MI scheduler for P9, the hardware is modeled as out of order.
However, inside the MI Scheduler algorithm, we still use the in-order scheduling model
as the MicroOpBufferSize isn't set. The MI scheduler take it as the hw cannot buffer
the op. So, only when all the available instructions issued, the pending instruction
could be scheduled. That is not true for our P9 hw in fact.
This patch is trying to enable the Out-of-Order scheduling model. The buffer size 44 is
picked from the P9 hw spec, and the perf test indicate that, its value won't hurt the cpu2017.
With this patch, there are 3 specs improved over 3% and 1 spec deg over 3%. The detail is as follows:
x264_r: +6.95%
cactuBSSN_r: +6.94%
lbm_r: +4.11%
xz_r: -3.85%
And the GEOMEAN for all the C/C++ spec in spec2017 is about 0.18% improved.

At present a v2i16 -> v2f64 convert is implemented by extracts to scalar,
scalar converts, and merge back into a vector. Use vector converts instead,
with the int data permuted into the proper position and extended if necessary.
