This patch removes the VSHRC register class (based on D20310) and adds
exploitation of the Power9 sub-word integer loads into VSX registers as well
as vector sign extensions.
The new instructions are useful for a few purposes:
Int to Fp conversions of 1 or 2-byte values loaded from memory
Building vectors of 1 or 2-byte integers with values loaded from memory
Storing individual 1 or 2-byte elements from integer vectors
This patch implements all of those uses.
