rs6000: Prefer VSX insns over VMX ones (part 1: perm and mrg)

There are various VSX insns that do the same job as (older) AltiVec
insns, just with a wider range of possible registers.  Many patterns
for such insns have the "v" alternative before the "wa" alternative,
which makes the output less readable than possible (since vs32 is v0,
and most insns before or after this insn will be VSX as well).

This changes the define_insns for the mrg and perm machine instructions
to prefer the VSX form.  No behaviour change.  Only one testcase needed
a little adjustment as well.
