Thanks to help from Nadav and Hal, I have a more reasonable (and even
correct!) approach. This specifically penalizes the insertelement
and extractelement operations for the performance hit that will occur
on PowerPC processors.

Certain vector operations don't vectorize well with the current
PowerPC implementation. Element insert/extract performs poorly
without VSX support because Altivec requires going through memory.
SREM, UREM, and VSELECT all produce bad scalar code.
There's a lot of work to do for the cost model before
autovectorization will be tuned well, and this is not an attempt to
address the larger problem.

This provides a place to add customized operation cost information and
control some other target-specific IR-level transformations.
The only non-trivial logic in this checkin assigns a higher cost to
unaligned loads and stores (covered by the included test case).
