[PowerPC] Disable perfect shuffle by default

We are going to remove the old 'perfect shuffle' optimization since it
brings performance penalty in hot loop around vectors. For example, in
following loop sharing the same mask:

  %v.1 = shufflevector ... <0,1,2,3,8,9,10,11,16,17,18,19,24,25,26,27>
  %v.2 = shufflevector ... <0,1,2,3,8,9,10,11,16,17,18,19,24,25,26,27>

The generated instructions will be `vmrglw-vmrghw-vmrglw-vmrghw` instead
of `vperm-vperm`. In some large loop cases, this causes 20%+ performance
penalty.

The original attempt to resolve this is to pre-record masks of every
shufflevector operation in DAG, but that is somewhat complex and brings
unnecessary computation (to scan all nodes) in optimization. Here we
disable it by default. There're indeed some cases becoming worse after
this, which will be fixed in a more careful way in future patches.
