We want to run the Machine Scheduler instead of the List Scheduler after RA.
Checked with a performance run on a Power 9 machine with SPEC 2006 and while
some benchmarks improved and others degraded the geomean was slightly improved
with the Machine Scheduler.

There are some VectorShuffle Nodes in SDAG which can be selected to XXSLDWI
instruction, this patch recognizes them and does the selection to improve the
PPC performance.

This generalizes the build_vector -> vector_shuffle combine to support any
number of inputs. The idea is to create a binary tree of shuffles, where
the first layer performs pairwise shuffles of the input vectors placing each
input element into the correct lane, and the rest of the tree blends these
shuffles together.
This doesn't try to be smart and create any sort of "optimal" shuffles.
The assumption is that even a "poor" shuffle sequence is better than extracting
and inserting the elements one by one.

Currently we have a number of tests that fail with -verify-machineinstrs.
To detect this cases earlier we add the option to the testcases with the
exception of tests that will currently fail with this option. PR 27456 keeps
track of this failures.
No code review, as discussed with Hal Finkel.

It allows the PPC back end to generate the xxspltw instruction where we
previously only emitted vspltw.
