x86_64: Improved implementation of TImode rotations.

This simple patch improves the implementation of 128-bit (TImode)
rotations on x86_64 (a missed optimization opportunity spotted
during the recent V1TImode improvements).

Currently, the function:

unsigned __int128 rotrti3(unsigned __int128 x, unsigned int i) {
  return (x >> i) | (x << (128-i));
}

produces:

rotrti3:
        movq    %rsi, %r8
        movq    %rdi, %r9
        movl    %edx, %ecx
        movq    %rdi, %rsi
        movq    %r9, %rax
        movq    %r8, %rdx
        movq    %r8, %rdi
        shrdq   %r8, %rax
        shrq    %cl, %rdx
        xorl    %r8d, %r8d
        testb   $64, %cl
        cmovne  %rdx, %rax
        cmovne  %r8, %rdx
        negl    %ecx
        andl    $127, %ecx
        shldq   %r9, %rdi
        salq    %cl, %rsi
        xorl    %r9d, %r9d
        testb   $64, %cl
        cmovne  %rsi, %rdi
        cmovne  %r9, %rsi
        orq     %rdi, %rdx
        orq     %rsi, %rax
        ret

with this patch, GCC will now generate the much nicer:
rotrti3:
        movl    %edx, %ecx
        movq    %rdi, %rdx
        shrdq   %rsi, %rdx
        shrdq   %rdi, %rsi
        andl    $64, %ecx
        movq    %rdx, %rax
        cmove   %rsi, %rdx
        cmovne  %rsi, %rax
        ret

Even I wasn't expecting the optimizer's choice of the final three
instructions; a thing of beauty.  For rotations larger than 64,
the lowpart and the highpart (%rax and %rdx) are transposed, and
it would be nice to have a conditional swap/exchange.  The inspired
solution the compiler comes up with is to store/duplicate the same
value in both %rax/%rdx, and then use complementary conditional moves
to either update the lowpart or highpart, which cleverly avoids the
potential decode-stage pipeline stall (on some microarchitectures)
from having multiple instructions conditional on the same condition.
See X86_TUNE_ONE_IF_CONV_INSN, and notice there are two such stalls
in the original expansion of rot[rl]ti3.
