    PR 89213: Add better support for shifting vectors with 64-bit elements

    This patch fixes PR target/89213 to allow better code to be generated to do
    constant shifts of V2DI/V2DF vectors.  Previously GCC would do constant
shifts
    of vectors with 64-bit elements by using:

            XXSPLTIB 32,4
            VEXTSB2D 0,0
            VSRAD 2,2,0

    I.e., the PowerPC does not have a VSPLTISD instruction to load -15..14 for
the
    64-bit shift count in one instruction.  Instead, it would need to load a
byte
    and then convert it to 64-bit.

    With this patch, GCC now realizes that the vector shift instructions will
look
    at the bottom 6 bits for the shift count, and it can use either a VSPLTISW
or
    XXSPLTIB instruction to load the shift count.
