PowerPC: Optimize SPE double parameter calling setup

Summary:
SPE passes doubles the same as soft-float, in register pairs as i32
types.  This is all handled by the target-independent layer.  However,
this is not optimal when splitting or reforming the doubles, as it
pushes to the stack and loads from, on either side.

For instance, to pass a double argument to a function, assuming the
double value is in r5, the sequence currently looks like this:

    evstdd      5, X(1)
    lwz         3, X(1)
    lwz         4, X+4(1)

Likewise, to form a double into r5 from args in r3 and r4:

    stw         3, X(1)
    stw         4, X+4(1)
    evldd       5, X(1)

This optimizes the fence to use SPE instructions.  Now, to pass a double
to a function:

    mr          4, 5
    evmergehi   3, 5, 5

And to form a double into r5 from args in r3 and r4:

    evmergelo   5, 3, 4

This is comparable to the way that gcc generates the double splits.

This also fixes a bug with expanding builtins to libcalls, where the
LowerCallTo() code path was generating intermediate illegal type nodes.
