Hi,

This patch is to make vector CTOR with char/short leverage direct
move instructions when they are available.  With one constructed
test case, it can speed up 145% for char and 190% for short on P9.

Tested SPEC2017 x264_r at -Ofast on P9, it gets 1.61% speedup
(but based on unexpected SLP see PR96789).

Bootstrapped/regtested on powerpc64{,le}-linux-gnu P8 and
powerpc64le-linux-gnu P9.

Is it ok for trunk?

BR,
Kewen
