[PowerPC] Add feature for Power8 vector extensions
The current VSX feature for PowerPC specifies availability of the VSX instructions added with the 2.06 architecture version. With 2.07, the architecture adds new instructions to both the Category:Vector and Category:VSX instruction sets. Additionally, unaligned vector storage operations have improved performance. This patch adds a feature to provide access to the new instructions and performance capabilities of Power8. For compatibility with GCC, the feature is controlled via a new -mpower8-vector switch, and the feature causes the __POWER8_VECTOR__ builtin define to be generated by the preprocessor. There is a companion patch for llvm being committed at the same time. llvm-svn: 219502
