Fix multi-register costs in BasicTTI::getCastInstrCost

For an cast (extension, etc.), the currently logic predicts a low cost if the
associated operation (keyed on the destination type) is legal (or promoted).
This is not true when the number of values required to legalize the type is
changing. For example, <8 x i16> being sign extended by <8 x i32> is not
generically cheap on PPC with VSX, even though sign extension to v4i32 is
legal, because two output v4i32 values are required compared to the single
v8i16 input value, and without custom logic in the target, this conversion will
scalarize.
