[TLI][PowerPC] Introduce TLI query to check if MULH is cheaper than MUL + SHIFT
This patch introduces a TargetLowering query, isMulhCheaperThanMulShift. Currently in DAG Combine, it will transform mulhs/mulhu into a wider multiply and a shift if the wide multiply is legal. This TLI function is implemented on 64-bit PowerPC, as it is more desirable to have multiply-high over multiply + shift for words and doublewords. Having multiply-high can also aid in further transformations that can be done. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D78271
