    Modify altivec-regs.exp testcase for AIX
    
    On AIX, the debugger cannot access vector registers before they
    are first used by the inferior.  Hence we change the test case
    such that some vector registers are accessed by the variable 'x' in AIX
    and other targets are not affected as a consequence of the same.
