Allow vsx_extract_<mode> to use Altivec registers.
I noticed that the vsx_extract_<mode> pattern for V2DImode and V2DFmode
only allowed traditional floating point registers, and it did not allow
Altivec registers. The original code was written a few years ago when we
used the old register allocator, and support for scalar floating point in
Altivec registers was just being added to GCC.
I have built the spec 2017 benchmark suite With all 4 patches in this
series applied, and compared it to the build with the previous 3 patches
applied. In addition to the changes from the previous 3 patches, this
patch now changes the code for the following 3 benchmarks (2 floating
point, 1 integer):
bwaves_r, fotonik3d_r, xalancbmk_r
I have built bootstrap versions on the following systems. There were no
regressions in the runs:
Power9 little endian, --with-cpu=power9
Power10 little endian, --with-cpu=power10
Power8 big endian, --with-cpu=power8 (both 32-bit & 64-bit tests)
