[PowerPC] Add a late MI-level pass for QPX load/splat simplification
Chapter 3 of the QPX manual states that, "Scalar floating-point load
instructions, defined in the Power ISA, cause a replication of the source data
across all elements of the target register." Thus, if we have a load followed
by a QPX splat (from the first lane), the splat is redundant. This adds a late
MI-level pass to remove the redundant splats in some of these cases
(specifically when both occur in the same basic block).
This optimization is scheduled just prior to post-RA scheduling. It can't happen
before anything that might replace the load with some already-computed quantity
(i.e. store-to-load forwarding).
