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

Current approach doesn't work well in cases when multiple paths are predicted to be "cold". By "cold" paths I mean those containing "unreachable" instruction, call marked with 'cold' attribute and 'unwind' handler of 'invoke' instruction. The issue is that heuristics are applied one by one until the first match and essentially ignores relative hotness/coldness
of other paths.
New approach unifies processing of "cold" paths by assigning predefined absolute weight to each block estimated to be "cold". Then we propagate these weights up/down IR similarly to existing approach. And finally set up edge probabilities based on estimated block weights.
One important difference is how we propagate weight up. Existing approach propagates the same weight to all blocks that are post-dominated by a block with some "known" weight. This is useless at least because it always gives 50\50 distribution which is assumed by default anyway. Worse, it causes the algorithm to skip further heuristics and can miss setting more accurate probability. New algorithm propagates the weight up only to the blocks that dominates and post-dominated by a block with some "known" weight. In other words, those blocks that are either always executed or not executed together.
In addition new approach processes loops in an uniform way as well. Essentially loop exit edges are estimated as "cold" paths relative to back edges and should be considered uniformly with other coldness/hotness markers.

Summary: b19ec1eb3d has been reverted because of the test failures
with PowerPC targets. This patch addresses the issues from the previous
commit.
Test Plan: ninja check-all. Confirmed that CodeGen/PowerPC/pr36292.ll
and CodeGen/PowerPC/sms-cpy-1.ll pass

CFI information are non-relevant to quite some testcases,
we should get rid of checking them when its unecessary.
This patch avoid generating cfi info in testcases that are not
testing prolog/epilog or exception handling.

Vector imm setting instructions like XXLXORz/XXLXORspz/XXLXORdpz
Should behave like LI8.
We should set corresponding flags to allow rematerialization and other
opts in LICM, RA, Scheduling etc.

An FRem instruction inside a loop should prevent the loop from being converted
into a CTR loop since this is not an operation that is legal on any PPC
subtarget. This will always be a call to a library function which means the
loop will be invalid if this instruction is in the body.
Fixes PR36292.
