New CONST_VECTOR layout

This patch makes CONST_VECTOR use the same encoding as VECTOR_CST.

One problem that occurs in RTL but not at the tree level is that a fair
amount of code uses XVEC and XVECEXP directly on CONST_VECTORs (which is
valid, just with looser checking).  This is complicated by the fact that
vectors are also represented as PARALLELs in some target interfaces,
so using XVECEXP is a good polymorphic way of handling both forms.

Rather than try to untangle all that, the best approach seemed to be to
continue to encode every element in a fixed-length vector.  That way only
target-independent and AArch64 code need to be precise about using
CONST_VECTOR_ELT over XVECEXP.

After this change is no longer valid to modify CONST_VECTORs in-place.
This needed some fix-up in the powerpc backends.
